Oh Love Well We Finally Made It
Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it would have took forever, I would have waited, baby
And waited and waited and waited and waited and waited
I, oh yeah, um, baby love
I knew that everything will be alright
It had to work out sweet, my love at night
Henceforth, now and forever
We've only just begun to feel the fire grow
Our light of love will burn and let the people know
That we intend to make it, when trouble comes, we'll shake it
My love for you can no one take it, oh, lord, I just got to say it
Girl, well, we finally made it, my, oh, my
Ah, you don't know how long I've waited
Ooh, my love, well, we finally made it
My, my, oh my, girl, you don't know
How long I've waited
Ooh, love, ah, my love, my, my
My love, my, my
Ooh, love
What would I do without you?
Nothing in this world could stop us now
We're going to make it, yeah, someway, somehow
So here's a toast to you and me
Let's keep our love happy and free
Free from all the hurt and pain, oh, I gotta say it again
Ooh love, girl, we finally made it, girl, my, oh, my
Ah, you don't know how long I've waited
Ooh love, well, we finally made it
Girl, my, oh, my, ah, you don't know
Girl, you don't know how long I've waited
Ooh love, well, we finally made it, girl my, oh, my
Ah, you don't know how long I've waited
Ooh, love, well, we finally made it
My, oh, my, girl, you don't know
How long I've waited
Ooh, love, my, oh, my
Ooh, love, my, oh, my
Ooh, love, my, oh, my

"So here's a toast to you and me.
Let's keep our love Happy and free.
Free from all the hurt & Pain.
Oh! I gotta say it again!
OOH! Love, girl we finally made it, girl my oh my!"
While this is a great song, it doesn't get the respect of so many hits "The Maestro" blessed us with but, it's incredibly pleasing to listen to over and over and over again.
There is NO WAY Rap music or the utter swill these young Black kids are making today even rates when compared to this music.
We danced, made love, felt good, and enjoyed each others presence when we heard this great music.
Today, people are killing each other over trivial issues in my opinion because there's little music like this that inspires them to love.
I really wish Rappers would sample the softness of this music and make a rap song that compels us to care more than kill more.

1974 was truly an amazing year for Barry. Many have said this was his best LP along with "White Gold". Precious and incredibly timeless x

I love Barry's music with "unlimited" passion! 🎶💕🎵

This musical composition used to mesmerize me as a kid. I never comprehended how a song theoretically could be established in one key and then completely resolve and stay in another and modulate AGAIN!! COMPLETE genius!!
