I need love, love

to ease my mind

I need to find, find

Someone to call mine

But Momma said

You can't hurry love

No, You just got to wait

She said love don't come easy

It's a game of give and take

I can't hurry love

No, You just have to wait

You've got to trust, give it time

No matter how long it takes

But 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

Yeah, it's almost gone

I remember Momma said

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

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'd grow impatient for love

To call my own

But when I feel that I

I can't go on

These precious words

Keeps me hanging on

I remember Momma said

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

I 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 Momma said

You can't hurry love

No, you just have to wait

She said trust, give it time

No matter how long it takes

Repeat and fade
