I need love, love to ease my mind
  I need to find, find someone to call mine
    But 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
  I can't hurry love, no, you'll just have to wait
  Just trust, give it 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, yeah 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 much more must I take
  Before lonliness, will cause my heart, heart to break?
    No, I cant bear to lve 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 keep me hangin' on
    I remember mama sayin' 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
  I can't hurry love
  No, you'll just have to wait
  She said trust, give it time
  No matter how long it takes, gotta wait!
    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)
  No, you know it ain't easy
    When mama said
  You can't hurry love
  No, you'll just have to wait
  She said, trust give it time, no matter how long it takes
  She said love don't come easy it's a game of give and take
