[Intro]
Mmm, mmm

[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a baby girl, I had a dream
Cinderella theme, crazy as it seems
Always knew that deep inside that there would come that day
But I would have to wait, make so many mistakes
I couldn't comprehend as I watched it unfold
This classic story told, I left it in the cold
Walking through unopened doors that led me back to you
Each one unlocking more of the truth

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I finally stopped tripping on my youth
I finally got lost inside of you
I finally know, I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul

[Chorus]
Finally, now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally, now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him, finally
Mmm

[Verse 2]
I remember the beginning, you already knew
I acted like a fool, just trying to be cool
Fronting like it didn't matter, I just ran away
But on another phase, was lost in my own space
Found what it's like to hurt selfishly
Scared to give up me, afraid to just believe
I was in a jealous, insecure, pathetic place
Stumbled through the mess that I had made

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I finally got out of my own way
I finally started living for today
I finally know, I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul

[Chorus]
Finally, now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally, now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him, finally

[Interlude]
Mmm
Finally, finally

[Chorus]
Finally, now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something beautiful is happening, is happening
Finally, now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him, finally

[Outro]
Oh, oh
Finally, finally
Finally

Fergie Duhamel, born Stacy Ann Ferguson, started her career in television. She starred in six seasons of Kids Incorporated before leaving the show in 1989. Fergie would venture through a couple of gigs including music group Wild Orchid before landing success with one of the most recognizable band of the 2000 Black Eyed Peas.

Joining the band in 2003, with her first feature on hit single “Where is the Love?”", Fergie, will.i.am, Apl.de.ap, and Taboo reached mainstream success as the Black Eyed Peas grew in renown and popularity as a pop-hiphop group. After releasing the commercially successful album Monkey Business with the Black Eyed Peas in mid-2005, Fergie ventured into her solo career with a debut album that continues to be her greatest The Dutchess.

Released in 2006, the record brought Fergie five multi-platinum singles, including “Glamorous”, “Big Girls Don’t Cry”, and “Fergalicious”. The latter has catapulted Fergie into pop culture relevance, and the term “fergalicious” or some variation of it is never put to rest in American pop culture.
