I'm Through Trying to Prove My Love to You
Love Unveiled: Bobby Womack's Liberation Anthem
Lyrics
Yeah I know you laugh, you've had your last laugh tough
Acknowledging that the person being addressed has had the last laugh in a tough situation.
You laughed a whole lot of times as I walked out the door
Reflecting on the numerous times the addressee laughed while the speaker walked away.
And said don't worry he be back, see he's in love and he's hung up
Expressing the addressee's confidence that the speaker will return due to being in love.
You see God, if he see that you don't want something
Highlighting a belief in a higher power (God) intervening when one doesn't appreciate something good.
That's good for you he takes it away and give it to somebody else
Explaining the divine principle of taking away something good if not valued and giving it to someone else who can use it.
That he feels that can use it. That's why today I can say that
Reflecting on the speaker's realization of the mentioned divine principle and its relevance to his current situation.
Oh I'm through
Declaring the speaker's decision to stop trying to prove his love to the addressee.
I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-Trying to prove my love to you
-I'm through, oh girl I'm through
-Sometimes I gave up the right when I know he was wrong
Admitting instances where the speaker compromised his principles by supporting the addressee even when she was wrong.
But I believe I can stand up today on my own
Expressing the speaker's newfound ability to stand independently.
Well, but I found someone and I think she understands what it really means
Introducing a new person in the speaker's life who understands the value of having a real man and is supportive without trying to replace the addressee.
What it really means to have a real man
-Her daily deeds and the things she do and say
-She said, I'm not trying to take that other woman's place
-But if I can't help you is swear I won't stand in your way
-Tell that woman that your through trying to prove your love to her
Encouraging the speaker to tell the addressee that he's done trying to prove his love.
She said, tell that woman that you're through boy
-I tryin' prove my love to you
-I'm through, I'm through
Reiterating the speaker's resolution to stop proving his love and expressing finality in the decision.
I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through staying up all night waiting on you to return
-I don't think it's another lesson
-That I have to wait and try to learn
-You'll find out far around the road
-See when you take my heart I can't let you take my soul
-And always happen in so many love affairs
-Oh you're so well loved today and tomorrow
-Tomorrow you just don't care
-When you tired and give some wrong loving the other
-And oh the other one go running in the streets
-Running in the streets trying to find it and another
-Oh and I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through, I'm through
-I'm through
-Try to prove my love to you
-Well I'm through baby, yeah, yeah yeah
Confirming the speaker's contentment and lack of regret in being through with proving his love.
I don't feel bad about it no, no
-Cause I gave everything I had
Emphasizing that the speaker has given everything and feels no remorse in ending the effort to prove his love.
