I'm Thru With Love
Breaking Free from Love's Chains: Carmen McRae's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I'm thru with love,
I have ended my involvement with love.
I'll never fall again.
I won't allow myself to fall in love again.
Said I do to love,
I committed to love previously,
Don't ever call again.
Don't contact me again in the name of love.
For I must have you
I need to have you or nobody else.
Or no one.
I'm only interested in having you.
That's why I'm thru with love.
This is the reason why I'm done with love.
I've locked my heart.
I've closed off my emotions.
I keep my feelings there.
I store my emotions in my heart.
I have stopped my heart
I've halted my feelings completely,
Like an icy frigidaire.
Similar to a freezing device.
For I need to care for no one.
I don't feel the need to care for anyone.
That's why I'm thru with love.
That's the reason for my abandonment of love.
Why did you leave me
Questioning why you departed,
To think that you cared.
Believing you once had feelings for me.
You didn't need me.
You didn't require my presence.
You have your share
You have plenty of people devoted to you.
of slaves around you
Individuals who follow and pledge allegiance to you.
To hound you and swear
To chase after you and promise their strong dedication.
Their deep devotion.
Their intense feelings.
Emotion.
Emotional attachment.
Did you good by the spring
You did well by leaving during spring,
And all it meant to me
And what that season symbolized for me.
a good neighbor
A friendly person,
The things that used to be.
Reminding me of past experiences.
For I must have you or no one.
I need you specifically, or I won't love anyone else.
That's why I'm thru with love.
This is the reason I'm done with love.
That's why I'm thru with love.
This is why I've ended my relationship with love.
