[Intro]
Finally, finally, yeah yeah, ow
[Hook]
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
And I just cannot hide it
[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Refrain]
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 can not 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
[Verse 2]
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 kind of girl
[Bridge]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Break]
Finally
Oh finally yeah yeah
Oh finally finally yeah yeah oww
Finally finally yeah yeah oww
Finally finally yeah yeah oww
Finally finally yeah yeah oww
Finally finally yeah yeah oww
[Bridge]
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
[Refrain]
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 can not hide it
Finally it has happened to me right in front of my face
My feelings can't describe it
