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

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 take

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 wait
She said love don´t come easy
It´s 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 hangin´ on
I remember mama said

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 take

You can´t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

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 wait
She said to 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
It´s a game of give and take
