I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
but mama said

you can't hurry love
on you just have to wait
she said love dont come easy
its a game of give and take
you cant hurry love no you just have to wait
you gotta trust, 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 is almost gone
just remember mama said

you can't hurry love
no you just have to wait
she said love don't come easy
its a game of give and take

how long must I wait
how much more can 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, I can't go on
these precious words keeps 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
its a game of give and take
you can't hurry love
no, you'll just have to wait
she said trust, give it time
no matter how long it takes

you know love, love dont 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, I keep on waiting
but it aint easy, it aint easy
but mama said

you can't hurry love
no, you just have to wait
she said trust, 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
its a game of give and take

you cant hurry love..
you cant hurry love..
you cant hurry looove!
