You Can't Hurry Love
Patience in Love: Embracing Life's Rhythm
Lyrics
I need love, love to ease my mind
The speaker desires love to bring comfort to their thoughts.
I need to find, find someone to call mine
They seek to discover someone special to call their own.
But mama said you can't hurry love
Advice from the speaker's mother: Love cannot be rushed.
No you just have to wait
Love requires patience; rushing won't help.
She said love don't come easy
Love is not easily obtained; it requires effort.
It's a game of give and take
Love involves both giving and taking.
You can't hurry love
Reiteration: Love cannot be hurried.
No, you just have to wait
Emphasizing the need for patience in love.
You gotta trust, give it time
Trust is essential; love needs time.
No matter how long it takes
Regardless of duration, patience is crucial in love.
But how many heartaches must I stand
Expressing the pain of enduring multiple heartbreaks.
Before I find a love to let me live again
Yearning for a love that revitalizes life.
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
The only thing keeping the speaker going is the hope for love.
When I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone
During moments of weakness, the advice of the mother is remembered.
I remember mama said
Recollection of the mother's advice about patience in love.
(You can't hurry love)
Reiteration: Love requires patience and waiting.
No, you just have to wait

She said love don't come easy
Restating the difficulty in acquiring love.
It's a game of give and take
Describing love as a reciprocal process.
How long must I wait? How much more can I take?
Questioning the endurance needed; wondering about the breaking point.
Before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break
Fear of loneliness leading to heartache and emotional breakdown.
No, I can't bear to live my life alone
The speaker cannot bear living life without love.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
Impatience grows for a love that belongs solely to them.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
During moments of despair, the following words provide solace.
These precious words keeps me hanging on
The remembered advice helps in holding on during difficult times.
