You Can't Hurry Love Songtext
von 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 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 hangin' on
When I feel my strength, yeah, it′s almost gone
I remember mama said


"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

"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
