You Can't Hurry Love

I need love, love, oh, 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 a good time

No matter how long how 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 grow impatient for a love to call my own

But when I feel that I, well I can't go on

These precious words, they 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

But it's a game of give and take

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

Just trust in a good time

No matter how long how it takes

And now break

Now 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, hold me tight

I keep waiting, ooh, till that day

But it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy

My 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

No, you'll just have to wait

Just trust in a good time

No matter how long how it takes

And now break
