So for this prompt I picked a song that remained at the top of the charts for the majority of the month I was born September 1966. It was still Number 1 during the week I was born – September 14th, 1966. I love this song and it is still a highly popular song over 50 years later. I chose The Supremes’ You Can’t Hurry Love!!! Enjoy!!
Lyrics
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 gotta 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 hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah, it’s almost gone
I remember mama saidYou 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 hanging on
I remember mama said
No you just have to wait
She said love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take
No you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
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 when mama said
You just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
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 can’t
