I need love,
love
to ease my mind.
I need someone called mine.
But mama said, you can't hurry love.
No, you just have to wait.
She said, love don't come easy.
It's her game of give and take.
You 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,
yeah, is almost gone.
I remember mama said,
you know,
you just have to wait.
She said, love don't come easy.
It's her 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 her 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,
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.
You can't hurry love.
No, you just have to wait.
She said, love don't come easy.
It's her game of give and take.
You can't hurry love.
No, you can't hurry love.
