Lyrics
[verse]
Mama sat me down beside her
Told me love ain't something that you chase
Said the right one finds his own way
On his own time, in his own place
[verse]
I've been lonesome, I've been waiting
Watching couples walk on by
Wondering when my turn is coming
Wiping tears from off my eyes
[chorus]
But you can't rush a good thing, baby
You can't force the seasons to turn
Patience is the price of loving
That's the lesson I'm learning to learn
[verse]
Mama says the heart's like weather
Comes in its own time, its own way
Some folks find it fast as lightning
Some folks find it wait by wait
[chorus]
But you can't rush a good thing, baby
You can't force the seasons to turn
Patience is the price of loving
That's the lesson I'm learning to learn
[bridge]
So I'll keep my faith a little longer
So I'll keep my hope alive
I know that love is out there somewhere
Coming for me right on time
[chorus]
But you can't rush a good thing, baby
You can't force the seasons to turn
Patience is the price of loving
That's the lesson I'm learning to learn
