I need love love
To ease my mind
I need some fine fine
Someone to call mine
But my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
R O C K
Love love don't come easy
Yet I keep on waiting anticipating
For that soft voice
Talk to me at night
For those tender arms
Wrapped around me tight
But my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long can I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness cause my heart
Heart to break
Now I can't stand
To live my life alone
I grow impatient for a lover
To call my own
Well I feel that I
That I can't go on
But those precious words
Keep me hangin' on
Well my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
R O C K
Love love don't come easy
Yet I keep on waiting anticipating
For that soft voice
Talk to me at night
For those tender arms
Wrapped around me tight
But my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long can I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness cause my heart
Heart to break
Well how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again
Well now the only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
Those precious words
Keep me hangin' on
Well my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
R O C K
