This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I feel you′re gone to stay
Lonely nights that come memories that go
Bringing you back again hurting me more and more

Maybe it′s my mistake to show this love that I feel inside
′Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if I′m coming or going cause

I love you, yes I do, this old heart
I love you, yes I do, yes I do, wait for me

I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me crying
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete
You′re here for the day gone for the week

But if leave me a hundred times, a hundred times I′ll take you back
I′m yours whenever you want me
I′m not to proud to shout it, tell the world about it ′cause



I love you, this old heart weeps for you
And I love you, I love you, this old heart weeps for you

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away I feel you′re gone to stay
Lonely nights that come memories that go
Bringing you back again hurting me more and more

Maybe it′s my mistake to show this love that I feel inside girl
′Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if I′m coming or going cause

I love you, yes I do, this old heart of mine weeps for you
I love you, yes I do, I love you, this old heart darling, weeps for you

I love you, this old heart of mine weeps for you
love you, yes I do, I love you, this old heart darling, weeps for you

I love you, yes I do, yes I do, I love you, oh yea

Been broke a thousand times, show this love for you, waiting for you
This old heart of mine dye for you this old heart of mine,
this old heart of mine

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
