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'll 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'll just have to wait
You gotta just 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'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 can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart, heart to break

Now 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 Momma 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
I can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
She said just give it time
No matter how long it takes

Gotta Wait....
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 aint easy
It aint easy

When Momma said
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said just give it time
No matter how long it takes
Repeat Chorus 2X
