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
But it ain't easy
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 just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes
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,
It's almost gone
I remember mama 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 can I take?
Before loneliness
Will cause my 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
These precious words
keep me hanging on
I remember mama 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
