I need love, love   To ease my mind   I need to find, find someone to call mine   My mama said      You cant 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   No, you just have to wait   You got to 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 hangin on   When I feel my strength, yeah   Its almost gone   I remember mama said:      You cant 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 must I take   Before loneliness will cause my heart   Heart to break?      Now I cant bear to live my life alone   I've grown impatient for a love to call my own   But when I feel that I, I cant go on   Then these precious words keeps me hangin on   I remember mama said:      You cant 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   No, you just have to wait   She said trust, give it time   No matter how long it takes      Now break      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   I keep on waiting   But it ain't easy   It ain't easy   My mama said...      You cant 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   No, you just have to wait   You gotta trust, give it time   No matter how long it takes      Now Break   No matter how long it takes
