Love Don't Come Easy
Ross Diana & The Supremes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But Momma said

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

Can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
You gotta just give it time
No matter how long it takes

But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love
To let me live again
Right now the only thing
That keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength
Yeah it's almost gone
I remember Momma said

Can't hurry love
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 can I take
Before loneliness
Will cause my heart, to break

No, I can't bear
To live my life alone
I'm growing impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I
I can't go on
These precious words keep me hanging on
I remember Momma said

Can't hurry love
You'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take

Can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
She said just give it time
No matter how long it takes
Gotta Wait....

No 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'll keep waiting
Keep on waiting
But it aint easy
It aint easy
When Momma said

Can't hurry love
No, You'll just have to wait
She said just give it time
No matter how long it takes

Can't hurry love




No, You'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy ...
