You Can't Hurry Love

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" (Can't wait)

You can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait (Ooh, you gotta give and take)

You got to trust, give it time (Love don't come easy)

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, is 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" (Can't wait)

How long must I wait?

How much more can I take (Ooh, you gotta give and take)

Before loneliness (Love don't come easy)

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

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" (Can't wait)

You can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait (Ooh, you gotta give and take)

She said, "Trust, give it time (Love don't come easy)

No matter how long it takes" (You gotta wait)

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, I keep on waiting (Ooh, you gotta give and take)

But it ain't easy, it ain't easy (Love don't come easy)

But, Mama, said

"You can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait" (Ooh, you gotta give and take)

She said, "Trust, give it time (Love don't come easy)

No matter how long it takes"

You can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait (Ooh, you gotta give and take)

She said, "Love don't come..."
