I need love, love 
ooh, ease my mind 
And I need to find time 
someone to call mine; 

You can't hurry love 
No, you'll just have to wait 
She said love don't come easy 
But it's a game of give and take 
You can't hurry love 
No, you'll just have to wait 
Just trust in a good time 
No matter how long it takes 

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, ooh, it's almost gone 

I remember mama said 
You can't hurry love 
No you'll 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 muck more must I take 
Before loneliness 
Will cause my heart, heart to break? 

No, I cant 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 
Well these precious words keep me hanging on 

I remember mama said 
You can't hurry love 
No, you'll just have to wait 
She said love don't come easy 
Well, it's a game of give and take 
You can't hurry love 
No, you'll just have to wait 
Just trust in a good time 
No matter how long it takes, now break! 

Now 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 
hold me tight 
I keep waiting 
Ooh, till that day 
But it ain't easy (Love don't come easy) 
No, you know it ain't easy 

My mama said 
You can't hurry love 
No, you'll just have to wait 
She said love don't come easy 
It's a game of give and take...
