You Can't Hurry Love

I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find
Someone to call mine

But 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
You got to trust on the good time
No matter how long it takes

But 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, it's almost gone

I remember mama said (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, oh, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hanging on

I remember mama said (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
You got to trust in the good 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 on waiting (can't hurry love)
I keep on waiting (just have to wait)
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy (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 can't hurry love
Love don't come easy

You just have to wait
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, no, 'cause it ain't easy, it ain't easy

You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
