Phil Collins
Verse 1
I need love, love to ease my mind
And I need to find time, someone to call mine
My Mama said
Chorus
You can’t hurry love.
No you 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 just have to wait
Just trust on a good time
No matter how long it takes
Middle 8
How many heartaches must I stand
before I find the love to let me live again
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin’ on
When I feel my strength
Oh, it’s almost gone
I remember Mama said
Chorus
You can’t hurry love.
No you just have to wait
She said: Love don’t come easy
But 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?
Middle 8
No one can bear to live a 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 hangin’ on
I remember Mama said
Chorus
You can’t hurry love.
No you 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 just have to wait
Just trust on a good time
No matter how long it takes
Verse 2
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 to hold me tight
I keep waiting, oh ’til that day,
But it ain’t easy, no, you know it ain’t easy.
My Mama said
Chorus
You can’t hurry love.
No you 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 just have to wait
Just trust on a good time
No matter how long it takes
