You Can't Hurry Love

By Edward Holland Jr., Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland
Rise Up Singing chapter: Love, p.129

To answer my own question: They recorded this as The Supremes. They became Diana Ross and the Supremes a year later, in 1967.

Chords and lyrics:

C - F C / Em Am F G
I need love, love, to ease my mind
I need to find, find, someone to call mine, but...

C - F C / Em Am F G ://
Mama said, "You 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 can't hurry love, no you'll just have to wait
You gotta trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes"

Em - - - / Am - - - / F - - - / G - F -
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 is almost gone, I remember (Mama said...)

C - F C / Em Am F G ://
Mama said, "You 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"
How long must I wait, how much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause my poor heart to break?

Em - - - / Am - - - / F - - - / G - F -
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
The precious words keep me hanging on, I remember...

C - F C / Em Am F G ://
Mama said, "You 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 can't hurry love, no you'll just have to wait
You gotta trust, give it time, no matter how long it takes"

C - F C / Em Am F G :// 3x
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 keep on waiting, I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy when / (Chorus again)
