I'm Through with Love
Breaking Free from Love's Chains: Little Jimmy Scott's Emotion-Packed Journey
Lyrics
I'm thru with love,
I have decided to end my connection with love.
I'll never fall again.
I won't allow myself to experience the feeling of falling in love again.
Said I do to love,
I committed to love in the past.
Don't ever call again.
I don't want love to contact me anymore.
For I must have you
I insist on having you in my life or having no one at all.
Or no one.

That's why I'm thru with love.
