I need love love love
Ooh, ease my mind
And I need to find time
someone to call mine My mama said

You can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
She said love [bad word] easy
But it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
Oh, you just have to wait
Just [bad word] in a good time
No matter how, long it takes 

How many heartaches, must I stand
Before I find the love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength
It's almost gone
I remember mama said

You can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
She said love [bad word] easy
It's 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 

No I can't bear
To live my life alone
I grow impatient for that love
To call my own
But when I feel that I
I can't go on
You don't feel my strength
It's so much gone
I remember mama said

You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love [bad word] easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No you just got to wait
Just [bad word] in a good time
No matter how, long it takes, now break! 

Now love love love it [bad word] easy
Now 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
Uuh till that day
But it ain't easy (Love [bad word] easy)
No you know it ain't easy, My mama said

You can't hurry love
Oh, you just have to wait
She said love [bad word] easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
Oh, you just have to wait
She said love [bad word] easy
Just [bad word] in a good time
No matter how, long it takes and I pray
