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 just got to wait She said, love don't come easy It's a game of give and take You can't hurry love No, you just got to wait You gotta trust good time No matter how long it takes But how many heartaches must I stand Before I find a love to let me live again Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on When I feel my strength Yeah, it's almost gone I remember mama said No, you just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's game of give and take How long must I wait How much more can I take Before loneliness would 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 hangin' on I remember mama said No, you just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's game of give and take You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said trust good time No matter how long it takes Break! 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 waitin' But it ain't easy, it ain't easy But mama said You can't hurry love No, you just got to wait You gotta trust good time No matter how long it takes
