You Can't Hurry Love Lyrics
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
This song has a special meaning for me, because right now I'm learning the lesson it's teaching the hard way. You can't go rush out and find someone to love right away. You have to be patient and wait for the right one to come along.
God I love this song. It's just about keeping calm and just waiting for love to come your way. We all want love, but we can't just rush out and get it as much as we want it to do. It won't happen like that. It happens when you least expect it and who you least expect.
Actually a memory I have of this song is actually a little contradictory. I was driving to work and had just gotten off the phone w/ a guy I like, but I didn't really realize it then...but as I was driving, thsi song came on, I began to sing along and just as the chorus hit, it hit me that I liked him. It was an amazing feeling.
