Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one who shows me true love or at least it seems
With brown cocoa skin and curly black hair
It's just the way he looks at me that gentle loving stare
Finally you've come along
The way I feel about you it just can't be wrong
If you only knew, the way I feel about you
I just can't describe it, oh no no
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it
It seems so many times, you seemed to be the one
But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun
But now you've come along and brightened up my world
In my heart I feel it, I'm that special kinda girl
Finally you've come along
The way I feel about you, it just can't be wrong
If you only knew, the way I feel about you
I just can't describe it, oh no no
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it
Finally, oh finally yeah, yeah oh oh
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it
Finally, oh yeah, yeah
Finally, oh yeah
The lyrics to Ce Ce Peniston's song "Finally" describe the experience of finally finding the man of her dreams, the one she has been searching for. She describes him as having "brown cocoa skin and curly black hair," and the way he looks at her with a "gentle loving stare" only confirms her feelings. The chorus repeats the statement "finally you’ve come along," emphasizing her relief and excitement at finally finding true love. She goes on to describe how her world has been brightened and how she is a "special kind of girl" because of this love. The song is an upbeat celebration of finally finding that special someone.
One interesting fact about "Finally" is that it was initially written as a slow ballad, but it was producer Felipe "DJ Wax Dawg" Delgado who suggested turning it into a dance track. Another interesting fact is that the song was co-written by two women, Ce Ce Peniston and her friend, recording artist Kym Sims. Additionally, the song was originally released in 1991, but it didn't become an international hit until 1992 when it was remixed by David Morales. The song has since been covered and sampled by various artists and continues to be a popular dance track in the 21st century.
Further, "Finally" has been featured in numerous films, TV shows, and commercials, such as "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," "Parks and Recreation," and "RuPaul's Drag Race." It has also been performed on numerous TV shows including "Top of the Pops" and "The Arsenio Hall Show." The song has achieved several chart positions in various countries including the UK, US, Australia, and Ireland.

Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams
I have found the perfect partner, the one who fulfills all my expectations
The one who shows me true love or at least it seems
He treats me with love and respect, though I may not be certain of his intentions
With brown cocoa skin and curly black hair
His appearance is attractive to me, with his light brown skin and curly black hair
It's just the way he looks at me that gentle loving stare
The way he gazes at me, softly and affectionately, reveals his feelings towards me
Finally you've come along
After searching for so long, I have finally found the right person

And I just cannot hide it
I cannot contain my joy and excitement about this relationship
It seems so many times, you seemed to be the one
I have been disappointed by past partners who seemed right for me
But all he ever wanted was to have a little fun
They were not serious about a relationship and only wanted something casual
But now you've come along and brightened up my world
He has brought happiness and light into my life in a way no one else has
In my heart I feel it, I'm that special kinda girl
I feel confident and appreciated by him, and know I am worthy of being loved
Finally, oh finally yeah, yeah oh oh
After waiting for so long, I am ecstatic that this love has finally come to me
Finally, oh yeah, yeah
This is truly a moment of happiness and celebration

First off I wanna dedicate this song to my new found financial freedom, therefore I just paid off my newly revamped house in full earlier this year in 2023 at the age of 40 years old, and I'm now rejoicing by way of laughing and crying sweet tears of joy.
Finally it is happened to me, to where I've been set free financially, and all is right in my life.
Thank you Jesus, for my prayers have been answered 😂.
