You Can't Hurry Love lyrics
by The Supremes



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 gotta trust, 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 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, 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 keeps 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.

No, you just have to wait."

She said, "Trust, give it time,

No matter how long it takes."



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

It ain't easy

But Mama said



"You can't hurry love.

No, you just have to wait."

She said, "Trust, give it time,

No matter how long it takes.

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."
