1. Strophe:
I Need Love, Love
Ooh, Ease My Mind
And I Need To Find Time
Someone To Call Mine;

Refrain:
My Mama Said
You Can't Hurry Love
No, You'll Just Have To Wait
She Said Love Don't Come Easy
But It's A Game Of Give And Take
You Can't Hurry Love
No, You'll Just Have To Wait
Just Trust In A Good Time
No Matter How Long It Takes

2. Strophe:
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, Ooh, It's Almost Gone

Refrain 2:
I Remember Mama Said
You Can't Hurry Love
No You'll 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 Must I Take
Before Loneliness
Will Cause My Heart, Heart To Break?

3. Strophe:
No, I Cant 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
Well These Precious Words Keep Me Hanging On

Refrain 3:
I Remember Mama Said
You Can't Hurry Love
No, You'll Just Have To Wait
She Said Love Don't Come Easy
Well, It's A Game Of Give And Take
You Can't Hurry Love
No, You'll Just Have To Wait
Just Trust In A Good Time
No Matter How Long It Takes, Now Break!

Refrain 4:
Now 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
Hold Me Tight
I Keep Waiting
Ooh, Till That Day
But It Ain't Easy (Love Don't Come Easy) No, You Know It Ain't Easy

Ending:
My Mama Said
You Can't Hurry Love
No, You'll Just Have To Wait
She Said Love Don't Come Easy
It's A Game Of Give And Take...
