Love Has Finally Come
Patti LaBelle Lyrics

Love has finally come at last
After waiting for so long, I have finally found love

And I'm never gonna give it back
I am so happy with it that I will never let go

Ooh, no, no, no
I will do everything in my power to keep it

Just like an old cliche
It is a common saying that you cannot miss something that you never had

One that simply says
Which means that you cannot regret losing something that you never had before

You can't miss what you never had
You cannot regret not having something that you never had before

I thought that love was just a feeling
I had always assumed that love was merely an emotion

That I'd give to him and in return
The understanding was that I would give my love to him and he would reciprocate it

He'd give it back
He would love me in return

But it's more than a friendly sensation
However, I have come to realize that love is more than just a friendly feeling

Oh, I had to be tripping out on the girls
Perhaps I was just acting foolishly and was unable to recognize its true nature

Body vibration
It could be that my physical attraction to him was blinding me to the reality of the situation

But I knew, oh, oh, oh yeah
Despite all of that, I eventually came to understand what real love is

Just like a tender young virgin
I feel like a young and inexperienced girl in my first relationship

In her first love affair
It feels like my first real experience with love

I doubt if she'd ever do it again
Despite the happiness it brings, she might not want to engage in it again in the future

Would she even care
Perhaps she would even be indifferent to it all

But as time pressed on
As time kept moving forward

Ooh, ooh, the girl caught on
The girl eventually understood what love really means

Nothing more she'd do with the boy
She would no longer do things together with the boy

She seemed to want it, want it, want it
However, she still desires love and wants to experience it deeply

But there's one side of love
One aspect of love that I had never known before

I'd never, never, never known
Something that I had never experienced before in my life

Baby, until you came along
I did not know what true love was until I met you

I can, I can tell the world
I want to shout out to the world and let everyone know how happy I am with you

Break it down to me easy
Please explain it to me in a simple way that I can understand it better

'cause everybody needs some kind
Because everyone needs some kind of love in their lives

Of love in their life
For happiness and fulfillment in life

Some kind of shape, form or fashion
No matter what form it takes, everyone needs love

Oh, and just like the flowers need the rain
Just like how flowers require water to grow

And they need, they need love to grow
We all need love to grow and flourish as human beings

I got you baby
But with you in my life, I already have everything I need

That's all you'll ever need
Because your love is all that I need

Chased away the blues in my life
Your love has removed all the sadness from my life

You've got a way of making everything alright
Your presence in my life makes everything better and brighter

Baby, baby, baby, baby
My love for you is strong and true

Somebody, understand me now
Please understand the depth of my love for you

When something happen good to you
When something good happens to you

Seem like you just wanna
You just want to

Let everybody know, let everybody know
Tell everyone about it

Ve has finally come at last
The ultimate happiness and fulfillment has finally come into my life

Ooh, no, no, no, no, no
And I will never let it go

Love has finally come at last
True love has finally found me

And I'm never gonna give it back
And I will never let it go

Oh, no, no, no
Because I am so grateful for it
