My mama said to me
You should wait patiently
You might be on your own
But you're never lonely
I put myself out there
And I've had my fair share
So many hearts on my sleeve
That I end up empty

Everyone says that I'm trying too hard
Care a little less, it won't do you no harm

She said "Son, stay calm
And never go looking for love, it'll find you
No need to rush, let it surprise you
It's out of the blue, whatever you do
Let love come to you"

All of my old friends
With lovers and girlfriends
I want what they got
They make it look easy

Oh and too many days I been trying to hard
Maybe I'll wait for the magic to start
Remember what she said

And never go looking for love, it'll find you
No need to rush, let it surprise you
It's out of the blue, whatever you do
Let love come to you
Oh, she said let love
My baby, let love
My darling, let love come to you

And never go looking for love, it'll find you
No need to rush, let it surprise you
It's out of the blue, whatever you do
Let love come to you, come to you

And never go looking for love when it's hiding
You've got to wait for your time and
Don't be a fool, whatever you do
Let love come to you
Let love come to you
