You Can't Hurry Love (The Supremes) Lyrics

I need love, love, to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine

But 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
You've got to just, 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 mama said,
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 must I take
Before loneliness, will cause my heart, 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
When these precious words keeps me hangin' on--

I remember mama said,
You can't hurry love,
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in my good time
No matter how long it takes
And now break!
Now love, love. It don't come easy
But I keep on waiting, anticipating
No, 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!

Now 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)

When mama said,
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said, love don't come easy
But it's a game of give and take

She said just give it time, no matter how long it takes
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'll just have to wait...
