You Can't Hurry Love

Phil Collins · ...Hits [1998]

I need love, love, ooh to ease my mind

And I need to find someone to call mine, my mama said



Chorus:

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 the good times, no matter how long it takes



But how many heartaches must I stand

Before I find a love to let me live again

'Cos right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

I feel my strength, you know it's almost gone, I remember mama said



Chorus:

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



Now I can't bear to live my life alone

I've grown impatient for a love to call my own

And when I feel that I, I can't go on

Well these precious words, they keep me hangin' on, I remember mama

said



Chorus:

You can't hurry love, oh 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'll just have to wait

Just trust in the good times, no matter how long it takes



Now BREAK,

Now love, love don't come easy

But I'll 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, ooh, till that day

But it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy, and my mama said



Chorus:

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

She said love don't come easy, well it's a game of give and take



Repeat to fade
