I need love, love
Ooh, to ease my mind
And I need to find fine
Someone to call mine
My mama said "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 the good time
No matter how long it takes"
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, you know it's almost gone
But remember 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"
How long must I wait
How much more must I take
Before loneliness
'Cause my heart, heart to break
And no, I cant bear to live my life alone
I grown impatient for a lover to call my own
Oh, when I feel that I, I can't go on
When this precious words
Keep me hanging on
I remember mama said
"You can't hurry love
Noo, you'll just have to wait"
She said "Love don't come easy
When it's a game of give and take"
"You can't hurry love
Oh, no you'll just have to wait
Just trust in the good time
No matter how long it takes", and now break
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
"You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait"
She said "Love don't come easy
When it's a game of give and take"
"You can't hurry love
Oh, no you'll just have to wait
You said "love don't come easy
When it's a game of give and take"
