Intro:      G             C       G               Hm        Em      Am                D
I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time, 
someone to call mine. My Mama said:

Refrain:    G         G      C            G          Bm              Em        Am             D
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'll just have to wait. 
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.

Strophe:  Bm Em Am D 
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 strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:

Refrain: G         G      C            G          Bm              Em        Am             D
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?

Strophe: Bm Em Am D 
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. 
Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:

Refrain:

Strophe: G         G      C            G          Bm              Em        Am             D
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 say, but it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy. 
My Mama said:
