With Patti LaBelle

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no

Just like an old cliche
One that simply says
You can't miss what you never had

I thought that love was just a feeling
That I'd give to him and in return
He'd give it back

But it's more than a friendly sensation
Oh, I had to be tripping out on the girls
Body aggravation

But I knew, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Oh, no, no, no

I'm so glad I can
Stand here today and say
I'm so glad about it

Love has finally come at last (ooh, baby)
And I'm never gonna give it back
Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Listen to me now

Just like a tender young virgin
In her first love affair
I doubt if she'd ever do it again
Would she even care

But as time pressed on
Ooh, ooh, the girl caught on
Nothing more she'd do with the boy
She seemed to want it, want it, want it

But there's one side of love
I'd never, never, never known
Baby, until you came along
I can, I can tell the world

Love has finally come at last
(Oh, I can tell it, I can tell it)
And I'm never gonna give it back
(Oh, never, never, never)
Oh, no, no, no (say it again)

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
(I'm gonna keep it, yes, I am)
Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Break it down to me easy
Everybody needs some kind
Of love in their life
Some kind of shape, form or fashion

Some kind of shape, form or fashion
Oh, and just like the flowers need the rain
And they need, they need love to grow

I got you, baby
That's all you'll ever need
(Oh, no, ooh, ooh)

Chase away the blues in my life
(Oh, you make my day so bright)
You've got a way of making
Everything all right

Baby, baby, baby...

Somebody, understand me now

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no

When something happen good to you
Seem like you just wanna
Let everybody know
Let everybody know

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
(Seem like it took so long)
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no (took so long)

(But now you're here)
Love has finally come at last
(Now you're here, yeah)
And I'm never gonna give it back
(And I'm so glad)
Ooh, no, no, no

(Everybody, sing the song)
Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
(If you can understand
Where I'm coming from)
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back
Ooh, no, no, no...
