CHORUS:
It should have been you
Could have been you
It should have been you
Could have been you

When we first got together
We thought our love would stand the test
Waiting oh so long
Can't settle for second best
No one else could make me feel the way you do
Broke my heart in two
When you said our love was through

CHORUS

Through pain, tears, and heartache
We see our love can't last
It's time for new beginnings
Can't live in the past
With my back to the wind
I face a new horizon

Believe me when I say that it's true
Even though our love is through

VAMP:
Been searchin' such a long time
True love's so hard to find
Been searchin' such a long time
True love's so hard to find

No one else could make me feel the way you do
Broke my heart in two
When you said our love was through

CHORUS

VAMP

Been searchin' such a long time
Wonder when I'll ever find
A man so warm and true
Who loves me like you used to do

CeCe Peniston is an R&B and dance singer/songwriter known for her international ‘90s pop hit “Finally.” The Phoenix, Arizona native got her start doing demos and background vocals for rapper Overweight Pooch. Though she didn’t have a lot of time to work on her debut album Finally, it still yielded multiple hit singles like “Keep On Walkin,” “We Got a Love Thang,” and the sentimental soul ballad “Inside That I Cried” that landed in the Top 20 Billboard charts in Pop, Dance and/or R&B categories.

For her 1994 follow-up, Thought Ya Knew, CeCe forged into more R&B territory with the Soulshock & Karlin-produced lead single “I’m In The Mood”. The album also yielded the hit singles “I’m Not Over You” and “Hit By Love”.

Label shake-ups affected the success of her third album I’m Movin' On, but the singles “Movin' On” and her remake of Jocelyn Brown’s dance classic “Somebody Else’s Guy” still made impact on both sides of the Atlantic.
