If I come running when you call
Will you be willing to give your all?
If you can accept the love I'm givin'
Can you return the love you're getting?

Can you give what I'm givin'?
Can you give what I'm givin'?
If you can accept the love I'm givin'
Can you return the love?

Baby, I saw you from afar
And you wanted my attention
Baby, I'm not afraid to mention, no
Ya' sent the signals one by one
Oh, I just did not respond
Suga, ya know I got it goin' on

I remember when your love was so good
Whisperin' sweet things in my ear
Tellin' me all the things I wanna hear
But now you're gone and all is said and done
You used to be my number
I'm gonna find another one

If I come running when you call
Will you be willing to give your all?
If you can accept the love I'm givin'
Can you return the love you're getting?

Can you give what I'm givin'?
Can you give what I'm givin'?
If you can accept the love I'm givin'
Can you return the love?

Boy, ya' didn't understand
You tried to play me out
Didn't know what true love was all about
Suga, oh, ya' just don't know
The hardest thing for me to do
Was tell you I was through with you, yeah

I remember when your love was so good
Whisperin' sweet things in my ear
Tellin' me all the things I wanna hear
But now you're gone and all is said and done
You used to be my number 1
I'm gonna find another one

If I come running when you call
Will you be willing to give your all?
If you can accept the love I'm givin'
Can you return the love you're getting?

Can you give what I'm givin'?
Can you give what I'm givin'?
If you can accept the love I'm givin'
Can you return the love?

I remember when your love was so good
Whisperin' sweet things in my ear
Tellin' me all the things I wanna hear
But now you're gone and all is said and done
You used to be my number 1
I'm gonna find another one

If I come running when you call
Will you be willing to give your all?
If you can accept the love I'm givin'
Can you return the love you're getting?

Can you give what I'm givin'?
Can you give what I'm givin'?
If you can accept the love I'm givin'
Can you return the love?

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.
