Love Has Finally Come at Last ft. Patti LaBelle (album version) Lyrics
Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back.
Ooh, no, no, no, no.
Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back.
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no.
Just like an old cliche,
One that simply says
You can't miss the one you never had.
I thought that love was just a feeling that I'd give to him.
And in return, he'd give it back.
But it's more than a friendly sensation.
Oh, I had to be tripping out on the girls.
Body vibration,
But I knew, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back.
(Ooh, no, no, no, no.)
I'm so glad I can stand here today and say.
I'm so glad about it.
Love has finally come at last (Ooh, baby.)
And I'm never gonna give it back.
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no.
Listen to me now.
Just like a tender young virgin in her first love affair,
I doubt if she's ever do it again.
Would she even care?
But as time pressed on,
Ooh, ooh, the girl caught on.
Now the more she wants to do it,
The more she seemed to want it, want it, want it. (Want it, want it)
Ooh.
But there's one side of love I'd never, never known, baby,
until you came along.
I can tell, I can tell the world.
(Love has finally come at last) Oh, I can tell it.
(And I'm never gonna give it back.) I can tell it.
Oh, never, never, never. (Ooh, no, no, no, no.)
Say it again.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back.
I'm gonna keep it, yes i am. (Ooh, no, no, no, no, no.)
Break it down to me easy,
'Cause everybody needs some kind of love in their life,
Some kind of shape, form or fashion.
Some kind of shape, form or fashion.
Oh, and just like the flowers need the rain.
Oh, and they need, they need love to grow.
I got you, baby.
Oh, I got you, baby.
That's all you'll ever need.
Oh no.
Ooh...ooh, ooh, ooh.
Chased away the blues in my life.
Oh, you've made my day so bright.
You've got a way of making everything alright.
Ooh...ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
Somebody understand me now.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
(Love has finally come at last) I'm so glad.
And i'm never gonna give it back.
(Ooh, no, no, no, no.) When something good happens to you,
It seems like you just wanna let everybody know.
(Love has finally come at last) Let everybody know.
(And I'm never gonna give it back.) But it seems like it took so long,
(Ooh, no, no, no, no, no.) Took so long.
But now you're here. (Love has finally come at last)
Now you're here. (And I'm never gonna give it back.)
Yeah, and I'm so glad about it. (Ooh, no, no, no, no.)
Everybody sing the song (Love has finally come at last)
(And I'm never gonna give it back) If you can understand where I'm coming from.
(Ooh, no, no, no, no, no.)
Where I'm from. (Love has finally come at last)
Where I'm from. (And I'm never gonna give it back.)
And I'm never gonna give it back.
Ooh, no, no, no, no.
Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back.
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no.
One that simply says
You can't miss the one you never had.
