ooh, ease my mind,
and I need to find time,
someone to call mine.
My mamma said,
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 on a good time,
no matter how long it takes.
How manny heartaches must I stand,
before I find the love to let me live again?
Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin’ on,
when I feel my strength ooh,
is 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 loneliness wil 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,
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 on 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,
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.
