You Can’t Hurry Love

Lyrics

[Intro] I need love, love, ooh, to ease my mind And I need to find time, someone to call mine My mama said [Chorus] "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 (Hoo) No, you'll just have to wait Just trust in the good time No matter how long it takes" [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] "(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? (Hoo) And how much more must I take Before loneliness Will cause my heart, heart to break? [Verse 2] No, I can't bear to live my life alone I've grown 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 [Chorus] "(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 (Hoo) No, you'll just have to wait Just trust in a good time No matter how long it takes" And now break! [Bridge] Now love, love, it 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 until that day (Hoo) But it ain't easy, no (Love don't come easy) You know it ain't easy, my mama said [Chorus] "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 (Hoo) 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"
