You Can't Hurry

Love Phil Collins

Lyrics / Chord Precession

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Couplet 1]
I need love, love
ooh, ease my mind,
and I need to find time, 
some-one to call mine; 
My mamma said,

[Chorus]
You can’t hurry love,
no you’ll just have to wait. 
She said, love don’t come easy,
but its a game of give and take. 
You can’t hurry love, 
no, you’ll just have to wait,
just trust on a good time,
no matter how long it takes. 

[Couplet 2]
How manny heart-aches must I stand 
before I find the love to let me live again?
Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin’ on,
when I feel my strength 
ooh, is 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 wil cause my heart,
heart to break?

[Couplet 3]
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,
wel these precious words 
keep me hanging on,
I remember 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 toe wait,
just trust on a good time, 
no matter how long it takes,
now break!
 
[Couplet 4]

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
no, You know it ain’t easy.
My 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.
