Wait
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 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 got to 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 hangin' on
When I feel my strength, getting
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
Heartbreak?
No I can't bare 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 keeps me hangin' 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
No, you just have to wait
She said just, give it time
No matter how long it takes
Wait
You know love don't come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
While some tender arms
To hold me tight
Oooh I been waiting
I been on waiting
But it ain't easy
Oooh It ain't easy
But 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
No, you just have to wait
She said just, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love
Noooo, you just have to wait
(Love don't come easy)
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
Noooo, you just have to wait
She said just give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love
Noooo, you just have to wait
(Love don't come easy)
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
Noooo, you just have to wait
She said just give it time
No matter how long it takes
I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
