You Can't Hurry Love Lyrics - Number 1's: Diana Ross & The Supremes - Diana Ross & 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 got to 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 hangin' 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 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, "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 waitin', I keep on waitin' 

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" 

You can't hurry love, no 

You can't hurry love
