I need love, love To ease my mind I need to find, find someone to call mine But 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 just have to wait You got to trust, 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 hangin' on When I feel my strength, yeah It's almost gone I remember 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 heart Heart to break? 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 hangin' on I remember 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 just have to wait She said trust, give it time No matter how long it takes 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 waiting I keep on waiting But it ain't easy It ain't easy But mama said: You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said to trust, give it time No matter how long it takes 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

Foi lançada em 25 de julho de 1966, servindo como o segundo single do álbum de estúdio The Supremes A' Go-Go.
Criada pela dupla de produção da Motown Holland–Dozier–Holland, a faixa liderou a parada Billboard Hot 100 nos Estados Unidos, ficou entre os cinco principais no Reino Unido e alcançou o top 10 na Austrália.
Dezesseis anos após o lançamento original, Phil Collins regravou a música para seu álbum Hello, I Must Be Going!, e a versão solo tornou-se um hit número um no Reino Unido, permanecendo nessa posição por duas semanas a partir de janeiro de 1983.
A regravação de 1983 por Phil Collins atingiu a décima posição na Billboard Hot 100 dos Estados Unidos, um mês após seu lançamento como single.
A revista Billboard elegeu a canção como a 19ª das 100 Maiores Músicas de Girl Groups de Todos os Tempos.
A BBC listou a faixa em 16º lugar no The Top 100 Digital Motown Chart, uma classificação baseada exclusivamente nos downloads e streams acumulados de todas as épocas de lançamentos da Motown no Reino Unido.
