You Can't Hurry Love

The Supremes

(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr.)

     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 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 to 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
