I need love, love, love, ooh to easy my mind And I need to find, find someone to call mine, my mama said
Chorus: You can't hurry love, oh you'll just have to wait She said love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take You can't hurry love, oh you'll just have to wait Just trust in the good times, no matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches must I stand Before I find a love to let me live again 'Cos right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on Is when I feel my strength, you know it's almost gone, I remember mama said
You can't hurry love, oh 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 must I take Before loneliness will cause my h-heart to break
Now I can't bear to live my life alone I've grown impatient for a lover to call my own And when I feel that I, I can't go on You know I feel my strength, you know it's almost gone, I remember mama said
Chorus
Then I'm free
Well now love, love, love don't come easy I know I'll 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, ooh, till that day But it ain't easy, you know it ain't easy, and my mama said
