I need love, love to ease my mind I need to find, find someone to call mine But Mama said, 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 But Mama said, can't hurry love No, you just have to wait You gotta trust, give it time No matter how long it takes But 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 is almost gone I remember Mama said 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 hanging on I remember Mama said No, you just have to wait She said, love don't come easy It's a game of give and take 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, trust, give it time No matter how long it takes Can't hurry love No, you just have to wait
