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
