Finally
Fergie ft. John Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ever since I was a baby girl, I had a dream
Cinderella theme
Crazy as it seems
Always knew that deep inside that there would come that day
But I would have to wait
Make so many mistakes
As I watched it unfold
This classic story told, I left it in the cold
Walking through un-open doors that led me back to you
Each one unlocking more of the truth
I finally stopped tripping on my youth
I finally got lost inside of you
I finally know I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
Mmm
I remember the beginning you already knew
I acted like a fool
Just trying to be cool
Frontin' like it didn't matter
I just ran away
Put on another face
Was lost in my own space
Found what it's like to hurt selfishly
I was scared to give up me
Afraid to just believe
I was in a jealous, insecure, pathetic place
Stumbled through the mess that I had made
Finally got out of my own way
I finally started living for today
I finally know I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
Mmm
Finally, finally
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something beautiful is happening, is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
Oh
Finally, finally
Finally

Ever since I was a baby girl, I had a dream
Since childhood, I had a dream like Cinderella
Cinderella theme
A dream to have fairytale-like love story
Crazy as it seems
Even though it sounds unrealistic
Always knew that deep inside that there would come that day
I always had a feeling that my dream will come true someday
But I would have to wait
I knew it wouldn't happen overnight
Make so many mistakes
I made numerous mistakes during my journey
I couldn't comprehend
I couldn't understand why things were happening the way they were
As I watched it unfold
As I saw events happening in my life
This classic story told, I left it in the cold
I abandoned my dream as it seemed unrealistic and far fetched
Walking through un-open doors that led me back to you
I kept walking through closed doors in life, but they finally led me to my true love
Each one unlocking more of the truth
Every failed relationship or other hardship taught me valuable lessons about love and life
I finally stopped tripping on my youth
I've finally grown up and am not making childish mistakes anymore
I finally got lost inside of you
I finally found my true self reflected back in my soulmate
I finally know I needed to grow
I realize and accept that I needed to mature to find real love
And finally, my mate has met my soul
I have found my soulmate, and he gets me completely
Now my destiny can begin
I feel like my life's purpose has been fulfilled
Though we will have our differences
Despite our differences, we're meant to be together
Something beautiful is happening, is happening
Our love is blossoming into something beautiful
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
My life seems brighter with my soulmate by my side
It's the best that I've ever had
I've never felt this happy before
Give my love to him finally
I'm finally ready to give my wholehearted love to him

Beautiful song. I love Fergie, she's beautiful, she's talented, she has a stunning voice, she was the member of the black eyed peas I loved when I was growing up, I love her solo songs and I had one of her songs-big girls don't cry in my 2007 summer disco. I feel so lucky, grateful and fortunate to have had one of her songs in one of my end of term disco's.
