[Intro]
Woo
Oh, yeah, ha
Look what we got, ha
Look what we got, hahaha
We got a— we got a love, we got a— we got a love
We got a— we got a love, we got a— we got a love
We got a— we got a love, we got a— we got a love
We got a— just how a love should be

[Verse 1]
Can't stand it when you're away
Without a doubt you're the best thing that's happened to me
Yeah, baby
And I just can't wait to have you by my side
You know whenever you're around, a smile is all that you're gonna see
Ohh
'Cause you make me feel so good inside
And there is no doubt, yeah, I'm satisfied
I know that I won't find a better love
I've got a love that other girls dream of, hey, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy

[Chorus]
We got a love thang (Love thang)
Feels so good to me (Feels so good to me)
This is our thang (Our thang)
Just how a love should be (Don't you know that's just how a love should be? Oh)
We got a— we got a love, we got a— we got a love
We got a— just how a love should be

[Verse 2]
I used to be lonely, yeah
'Cause I couldn't find someone that I could call my own
No, no
Suddenly you stepped in my life
Now you're here with me and all my lonely days are gone
They are gone, oh, no
I don't know if it's wrong or right
But it's better than the lonely nights
I know that I won't find a better love
I've got a love that other girls dream of, hey, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy

[Chorus]
We got a love thang (Love thang)
Feels so good to me (Feels so good to me)
This is our thang (Our thang)
Just how a love should be (Don't you know that's just how a love should be?)

[Post-Chorus]
Woo
Oh, yeah, ha
Look what we got, hahaha

[Bridge]
Hey, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy
We got a love thang
Hey, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy
Hey-ayy-hey now, we got a love thang
Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy
Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy
Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy
Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, love thang
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
We got a— we got a love, we got a— we got a love
We got a— just how a love should be
I know that I won't find a better love
I've got a love that other girls dream of
Hey, hey, hey, hey (We got a, we got a love)
We got, we got a love
We got a love, we got a love thang
Hey, hey, hey, hey (We got a, we got a love)
We got, we got a love
We got a love, we got a love thang

[Outro]
We got a— we got a love, we got a— we got a love
We got a— we got a love, we got a— we got a love
We got a— we got a love, we got a— we got a love
We got a— just how a love should be

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.
