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 no, you just have to waitâ€Â
She said, ‽Love don't come easy it's a game of give and takeâ€Â
You can't 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
It's almost gone I remember mama said
‽You can't hurry love no, you just have to waitâ€Â
She said, ‽Love don't come easy it's a game of give and takeâ€Â
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 hangin' on
I remember mama said
‽You can't hurry love no, you just have to waitâ€Â
She said, ‽Love don't come easy it's a game of give and takeâ€Â
You can't hurry love no, you just have to wait
She said, ‽Trust, give it time no matter how long it takesâ€Â
Gotta wait
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, but mama said
‽You can't hurry love no, you just have to waitâ€Â
She said, ‽To trust, give it time no matter how long it takesâ€Â
You can't hurry love no, you just have to wait
She said, ‽Love don't come easy it's a game of give and takeâ€Â
