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 (ooh), no, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in the 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
(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 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
(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 (ooh), no, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in the good time, no matter how long it takes
And now break
Now love, love, it 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, until 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 but it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love (ooh), no, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
