I need love, love

Ooh, ease my mind

And I need to find time

Someone to call mine

My mama said

You can't hurry love

No, youll just have to wait

She said love dont come easy

But its a game of give and take

You can't hurry love

No, youll just have to wait

Just trust in a 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, its almost gone

I remember mama said

You can't hurry love

No youll just have to wait

She said love dont come easy

Its a game of give and take

How long must I wait

How muck more must I take

Before loneliness

Will cause my heart, heart to break

No, 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

Well these precious words keep me hanging on

I remember mama said

You can't hurry love

No, youll just have to wait

She said love dont come easy

Well, its a game of give and take

You can't hurry love

No, youll just have to wait

Just trust in a good time

No matter how long it takes, now break!

Now love, love dont 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 aint easy (love dont come easy)

No, you know it aint easy

My mama said

You can't hurry love

No, youll just have to wait

She said love dont come easy

Its a game of give and take...
