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