I need love, love to ease my mind
Bm Em Am
and I need to find time, someone to call mine.

My Mama said:
G C G
You can't hurry love no you just have to wait.
Bm Em Am D7
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
G C G
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.
Bm Em Am D7sus4 D7
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.
Bm
How many heartaches must I stand,
Em
before I find the love to let me live again.
C
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,
D7 C D7sus4 D7
when I feel my strength, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:
G C G
You can't hurry love no you just have to wait.
Bm Em Am D7
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
G C G
How long must I wait? How much more must I take,
Bm Em Am D7sus4 D7
before loneliness will cause my heart, heart to break?
Bm
No I can't bear to live my life alone.
Em
I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
C
But when I feel that I, I can't go on.
D7 C D7sus4 D7

G C G
Now love, love don't come easy,
Bm Em Am D7sus4 D7
but I keep on waiting, anticipating
G C G
for that soft voice to talk to me at night,
Bm Em Am D7
for some tender arms to hold me tight.
G C G
I keep waiting, oh 'till that say,
Bm Em Am D7sus4 D7
but it ain't easy no, you know it ain't easy- My Mama said:
