I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said, can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You gotta trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches must I stand
When I feel my strength, yeah, is almost gone
I remember mama said, no,
She said, love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How much more can I take?
Before loneliness will cause my heart,
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
These precious words keeps me hanging on
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
Anticipating for that soft voice
Girl you just have to wait
No matter how long it takes
Girl you just have to wait
It's a game of give and take,
Mama said, just give in time,
