Finally
Nerina Pallot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meeting Mr. Right
The man of my dreams
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

Finally it's 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, no
Can't hide it

It seems so many times
You seemed to be the one
But all you ever wanted
Was to have a little fun
But now you've come along
And brightened up my world
It's the way I feel it
I'm that special kind of girl

Finally you've come along
The way I feel about you
Just can't be wrong
If you only knew
The way I feel about you
I just can't describe it, 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

Meeting Mr. Right
Encountering the ideal partner


The man of my dreams
The perfect person one has always envisioned


The one who shows me true love
Someone who gives genuine affection


Or at least it seems
Or so it appears based on the initial interaction


With brown cocoa skin
Having a complexion resembling cocoa


And curly black hair
With hair that is black and coiled


It's just the way he looks at me
His gaze towards me has a unique effect


That gentle loving stare
The expression on his face is kind and fond


Finally you've come along

Finally, I have found my ideal partner


Right in front of my face
Directly in my line of vision


My feelings can't describe it

And I just cannot hide it, no
I cannot keep it concealed


It seems so many times
It appears on numerous occasions


You seemed to be the one
It seemed like you were the perfect match


But all you ever wanted
However, all you actually desired


Was to have a little fun
Was to engage in short-term excitement


But now you've come along
But now the ideal match has appeared


And brightened up my world
And made everything feel more joyful


It's the way I feel it
It's what I sense and experience

Meeting Mr. Right, the man of my dreams
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

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
It's just the way 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 hide 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
