I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But Mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You gotta trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again?
Right now, the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
When I feel strength, yeah, it's almost gone
I remember Mama said
(You can't hurry love)
No, you 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 can I take
Before loneliness
Will cause my heart, heart to break?
Oh, I can't bear to live my life alone
I'd grow impatient for another to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hangin' on
I remember Mama said
(You can't hurry love)
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No, love, love don't come easy
But I keep on waiting,
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night,
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waiting (ooh)
I keep on waiting (keep on waiting)
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy
But Mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
(fade out)
