So I was looking through my drafts and found this post I had started, but never finished.
So I decided there was no time like the present.
So I saw this quote on twitter:
And it made me think of one of my favorite songs:
You Can’t Hurry Love by The Supremes
This is one of the best songs as the lyrics are fun, the music fantastic, and something everyone can relate to. We all want to find love.
Sometimes we get tired of waiting and try to rush it along, picking the wrong people.
And in the process can get our heart broken.
But as the song says, don’t give up and don’t hurry it along; the right person will come.
The song was written and released in 1966, surpsingly being based on You Can’t Hurry God (He’s Right on Time) by Dorothy Love Coates of The Original Gospel Harmonettes. It was number one for two weeks and have been recorded by Phil Collins, The Dixie Chicks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and The Stray Cats.
It’s a great song and has been in many films.
Oh, ease my mind
And I need to find time
Someone to call mine
No, you’ll just have to wait”
She said, “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes
Before I find the love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, ooh, it’s almost gone
She said, “love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take”
How long must I wait
How much more must I take
Before loneliness
Will cause my heart, heart to break
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that i, I can’t go on
Well these precious words keep me hanging on
No, you’ll just have to wait”
She said, “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes
Now 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
Hold me tight
I keep waiting
Ooh, till that day
But it ain’t easy (love don’t come easy)
No, you know it ain’t easy
No, you’ll just have to wait
She said “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
She said “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love, no you’ll just have to wait
