I will love one man 'till
The day I die promise I will
But he'll have to love me the same
And I'll never underestimate
The power of love
Cause once you're in love
There can be joy and also pain

(Yeah, come on y'all
It's '93, we're about to rock it hard
Yeah - c'mon)

I could be your superwoman
Baby, I'm only human
But if you treat me badly
Through those doors, I'm gone

I could be your sexual healing
I could be all you're feeling
But if you treat me badly
Through those doors, I'm gone

Through those doors, I'm gone
Cause I ain't takin' no shorts
Takin' no shorts
Baby I'm gone

Through those doors, I'm gone
Cause I ain't takin' no shorts
Takin' no shorts
Baby I'm gone

When will you give in to me
Show me this love will be
In my secret garden we'll lose control
Don't turn your back on me
Promise this love will be
Everything our hearts can unfold

I could be your chocolate baby
Every lick will drive you crazy
But if you treat me badly
Through those doors, I'm gone

I could be your sexual healing
I could be all you're feeling
But if you treat me badly
Through those doors, I'm gone

Through those doors, I'm gone
Cause I ain't takin' no shorts
Takin' no shorts
Baby I'm gone

Through those doors, I'm gone
Cause I ain't takin' no shorts
Takin' no shorts
Baby I'm gone

Woman, if you see your man with your best friend
Go by to show off so she could pretend
That she has more class than you
Tell your man we're through, you're untrue
Tell your man we're through, you're untrue

Ooooh

I could be your superwoman
Baby i'm only human
But if you treat me badly
Through those doors, i'm gone

I could be your sleeping beauty
Come and kiss my lips and wake me
But if you treat me badly
Through those doors, i'm gone

Through those doors, I'm gone
Cause I ain't takin' no shorts
Takin' no shorts
Baby I'm gone

Through those doors, I'm gone
Cause I ain't takin' no shorts
Takin' no shorts
Baby I'm gone

Through those
Through those doors
Through those
Through those doors
Through those
Through those doors
Through those
Through those doors

I could be your chocolate baby
Every lick will drive you crazy
Cause I ain't takin' no shorts
Takin' no shorts
Baby I'm gone

I could be your sexual healing
I could be all you're feeling
I ain't takin' no shorts
Takin' no shorts
Baby I'm gone

Through those
Through those doors I'm gone
I'm gone, baby
I'm gone

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.
