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, oh you'll just have to wait Just trust in 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 Cause right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on Is when I feel my strength, you know it's almost gone, I remember mama said
You can't hurry love, oh 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 hard to break
Now I can't bear to live my life alone I've grown impatient for a lover to call my own And when I feel that I, I can't go on You know I feel my strength, you know it's almost gone, I remember 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, oh you'll just have to wait Just trust in the good times, no matter how long it takes
Now break
Well now love, love, love don't come easy I know I'll 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, (ooh, till that day) But it ain't easy, you know it ain't easy, ah my 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, oh you'll just have to wait Just trust in the good times, no matter how long it takes
