Here I come, there I go
I'll keep on searchin' around
Lookin' here, lookin' there
Tell me where love can be found

CHORUS:
I'll be searchin'
Searchin' for a love to call my own
I'll be searchin'
Cause I don't wanna have to be alone

Where to go, I don't know
I'm going out of my mind
I know it's there, there somewhere
True love is oh so hard to find

CHORUS

I just won't stop searchin'
And I'll be prayin'
Help me from up above
I'll just keep on workin'
Cause ain't no playin'
Until I find my love

CHORUS

VAMP:
I don't wanna be alone, baby
I don't wanna be alone, no
I don't wanna be alone, baby
I don't wanna be alone, no

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.
