I need love, love, ooh, 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, no, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a 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? How much more must I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart, heart to break?
Verse 2
No, I cant 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 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, well, 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 it takes, now break!
Bridge
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 (Love don't come easy)
No, you know it ain't easy, my mama said
Outro
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...
