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, oh 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, no you´ll just have to wait
You´ve got to trust the good times, 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
Is when I feel my strength, yeah is almost gone,

I remember mama said, 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 can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart, heart to break

No I can´t bear to live my life alone
I´ve grown impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that high I can´t go on
These pressures words keeps me hangin´ on

I remember mama said, 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, no you´ll just have to wait
She said trust good times, 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´ll just have to wait
She said trust good times, no matter how long it takes
You can´t hurry love, no you´ll just have to wait
