You Can’t Hurry Love

[Intro]
I need love, love oh ease my mind
And I need to find time Someone to call mine

[Chorus]
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 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

[Chorus]
I 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 will cause my heart, heart to break

[Verse 2]
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
Well these precious words keep me hanging on

[Chorus]
I remember 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 a good time
No matter how long it takes
Now wait

[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 no, you know it ain't easy oh

[Chorus]
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 a good time No matter how long it takes now wait
