Bobby Womack – Love Has Finally Come at Last lyrics

featuring Patti LaBelle

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

Just like an old cliché,
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 her and in return
She'd give it back.
But it's more than a friendly sensation.
Oh, I had to be tripping out on the girls.
Body vibration, but I knew. Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back.
Oooh, no, 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 (Oooh, baby.)
And I'm never gonna give it back.
Oooh, 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,
Oooh, oooh, the girl caught on.
Nothing more she'd do with the boy.
She seemed to want it, want it, want it. (Want it, want it)
Oooh.
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.
(Oooh, no, no, no, no.) Say it again.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Love has finally come at last
And I'm never gonna give it back.
I'm gonna keep it, yes I am. (Oooh, no, no, no, no, no.)

Break it down to me easy,
'Cause 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 the need, they need love to grow. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I got you, baby. (Oh, I got you, baby.)
That's all you'll ever need. Oh no.
Ooooooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Chased away the blues in my life.
(Oh, you made my day so bright.)
You got a way of making everything alright.

(Saxophone solo)

Ooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
Somebody understand me now.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh. (Love has finally come at last)
I'm so glad. (And I'm never gonna give it back.)
Oooh, no, no, no, no.
When something good happens to you,
You just wanna let everybody know.
(Love has finally come at last) Let everybody know.
(And I'm never gonna give it back.) Seems like it took so long,
(Oooh, 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. (Oooh, no, 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.
(Oooh, no, no, no, no, no.)
Where I'm from. (Love has finally come at last)
Where I'm from. (And I'm never gonna give it back.)
