You Can't Hurry Love

I need love, love

Ooh, to ease my mind

And I need to find time

Someone to call mine

My mama said, "You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait"

She said, "Love don't come easy

But it's a game of give and take"

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

Just trust in the good time

No matter how long it takes

How many heartaches must I stand?

Before I find the love to let me live again

Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on

When I feel my strength, ooh, it's almost gone

I remember Mama said, "You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait"

She said, "Love don't come easy

It's a game of give and take"

How long must I wait?

How much more must I take?

Before loneliness

Will cause my heart, heart to break

No, I can't bear

To live my life alone

I've grown impatient for a love

To call my own

But when I feel that I

I can't go on

Well, these precious words

Keep me hanging on

I remember Mama said, "You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait"

She said, "Love don't come easy"

Well, it's a game of give and take"

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

Just trust in the good time

No matter how long it takes

Now break

Now love, love, it don't come easy

But I keep on waiting, anticipating

For that soft voice to talk to me at night

For some tender arms, hold me tight

I keep waiting, ooh, till that day

But it ain't easy, no (Love don't come easy)

You know it ain't easy

And my mama said, "You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait"

She said, "Love don't come easy

But it's a game of give and take"

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

She said, "Love don't come easy

But it's a game of give and take"

You can't hurry love, no, you'll just have to wait
