You Can't Hurry Love
M.T.V Galaxy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And shout your name to God above.
I tell myself this is no game;
I only hope you feel the same.
They say that love's a two way thing,
And all of the pleasures it may bring.
But our love will never be,
[Chorus]
How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
Please tell me,
How can I love you more?
I give you a love so pure.
Losing you would make me feel
Helpless, weak, alone, unreal.
Life I could not contemplate.
I need your love, don't make me wait.
Don't tell me it's not enough,
I try so hard don't be so tough.
I never felt this way before.
I'm sick, and baby, you're my cure.
How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
Oh baby,
How can I love you more?
I give you a love so pure.

I need love, love
Oh, ease my mind
And I need to find time
Someone to call mine
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
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
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
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 hanging on
I remember 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
Now wait
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
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
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
