How many heartaches must I stand
I remember mama said, "You can't hurry love
Well, these precious words keep me hanging on
It's a game of give and take"
For some tender arms
You can't hurry love
How much more must I take
You can't hurry love
Someone to call mine
No matter how long it takes
I keep waiting
Before I find the love to let me live again
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
No, you'll just have to wait"
No, you know it ain't easy
She said, "Love don't come easy
Oh, till that day
But it ain't easy
No, you'll just have to wait
But I keep on waiting
But it's a game of give and take"
Now love, love don't come easy
No matter how long it takes, now break
(Love don't come easy)
No, I cant bear to live my life alone
Well, it's a game of give and take"
Will cause my heart, heart to break
But it's a game of give and take"
To talk to me at night
No, you'll just have to wait"
My mama said, "You can't hurry love
Just trust in a good time
She said, "Love don't come easy
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
Hold me tight
When I feel my strength, oh, it's almost gone
No, you'll just have to wait
I remember mama said, "You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said, "Love don't come easy
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
She said, "Love don't come easy
Anticipating for that soft voice
No, you'll just have to wait"
Just trust in a good time
My mama said, "You can't hurry love
She said, "Love don't come easy
How long must I wait
Before loneliness
And I need to find time
No, you'll just have to wait"
You can't hurry love
