I need love, love Ooh, ease my mind I need to find time Someone to call mine; My mama said You can't hurry love 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 Just trust in a good time No matter how long it takes and 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, ooh, it's almost gone Chorus: I remember mama said You can't hurry love 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 must 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 Well these precious words keep me hanging on Chorus: Now 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 Hold me tight I keep waiting Ooh, till that day But it ain't easy it ain't easy Chorus: Now break!
