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'll just have to wait
+
She said love don't come easy
+
It's a game of give and take
+
You can't hurry love (ooh)
+
No, you'll 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 my strength, yeah, it's almost gone
+
I remember mama said
+
You can't hurry love
+
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? (Of give and take)
+
How much more can I take? (Love don't come easy)
+
Before loneliness
+
Will cause my heart, heart to break
+
Now I can't bear to live my life alone
+
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
+
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
+
These precious words keep me hangin' on
+
I remember mama said
+
You can't hurry love
+
You'll 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'll just have to wait (you gotta give and take)
+
You gotta trust, give it time (love don't come easy)
+
No matter how long, you wait, now wait
+
No love, love don't come easy
+
But I keep on waitin'
+
Anticipating for that soft voice
+
To talk to me at night
+
For some tender arms
+
To hold me tight
+
I keep waiting
+
I keep on waitin' (ooh, I give and take)
+
But it ain't easy, yeah (love don't come easy)
+
It ain't easy
+
But mama said
+
You can't hurry love
+
You'll just have to wait
+
She said love don't come easy
+
It's a game of give and take
+
You can't hurry love
+
You'll just have to wait
+
You gotta trust, give it time
+
No matter how long it takes
+
You can't hurry love
+
You'll just have to wait
+
You gotta trust, give it time
+
No matter how long it takes
