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 have 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 have to wait
You got to trust, give it 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 a game of give and take"

How long must I wait?
How much more can I take
Before loneliness 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
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 a game of give and take"

You can´t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said, "Trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes"

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 waiting
But it ain´t easy, it ain´t easy

But mama said
"You can´t hurry love
No, you just have to wait"
She said, "To trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes"

You can´t hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said, "Love don´t come easy
It´s a game of give and take"
