You Can't Hurry Love

(album: Dancing In The Street: The Songs Of Motown II - 2006)

I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
My mama said

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Its a game of give and take

You cant 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
Its almost gone
I remember mama said:

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Its a game of give and take

How long must I wait
How much more must I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart
Heart to break?

Now I cant bear to live my life alone
I've grown impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I cant go on
Then these precious words keeps me hangin on
I remember mama said:

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Its a game of give and take

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

Now break

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
My mama said...

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Its a game of give and take

You cant hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You gotta trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes

Now Break
No matter how long it takes
