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 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 gotta 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 hanging on When I feel my strength, yeah it’s almost gone I remember Momma 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 How long must I wait How much more must I take Before loneliness will cause my heart Heart to break No I cant 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 hanging on I remember Momma 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 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 When Momma said You cant hurry love, no, you just have to wait She said 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
