GI need love,C love

She saidBm love don't comeEm easy
AmIt's a game ofD give and take

YouG can't hurry love
No, youC just have toG wait
You got toBm trust,Em give it time
NoAm matter howD long it takes

ButBm how many heartaches
Must I stand before IEm find a love
To let me live again
Right now theAm only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
When ID feel my strength, yeah
It'sD7 almost gone
I remember mama said:

YouG 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
