I need a love to meet me half the way
The kind of love that will always stay
Together, forever with you

[Verse 1:]
Seems like something's in the air, but we can't decide
Whether to love or leave is a question of pride
In every motion there's love, it's brought us around
To the fact reality, there's nothing to see

[Chorus:]
You win, I win, we lose
Cause there's nothing else to choose
You win, I win, we lose
Cause there's nothing left between me and you

[Verse 2:]
I can often tell myself the things that I love to hear
And I can dream of a love that will never appear
But it seems our love is not meant to be
So tell me what's on your mind to save us both the grief
Together in the beginning was a difference
But it seems our love's not meeting half the way
But who is right is everybody is wrong?
Sad song that we'll have to sing again and again
When the next one comes along

[Chorus]

I need a love to meet me half the way
The kind of love that will always stay
Together, forever with you
I know that we can really make a change
All we gotta do is rearrange
My love, your love, our love

CeCe Peniston

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.
