You Can’t Hurry Love

Lyrics

I need love, love To ease my mind I need to find, find Someone to call mine My 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" You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait You gotta just give it time 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 hanging on When I feel my strength, yeah, it's 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" How long must I wait How much more can I take Until loneliness Can cause my whole heart to break No, I can't bear to live my life alone I grow impatient for the one to call my own But when I feel that I, I can't go on These precious words keep me hanging 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" You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait You gotta just give it time No matter how long it takes But 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 (no) 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" You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait You gotta just give it time No matter how long it takes You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said "love don't come easy" (love don't come easy) How long must I wait How much more can I take (more can I take) Before loneliness Can cause my whole heart to break Just wait
