The Supremes - you can't hurry love

I need love, love

To ease my mind

And I need to find time

Someone to call mine

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'll just have to wait

you gotta trust in 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, "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 that 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
