You Can't Hurry Love

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

No, 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, give it 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
