I have given you my true love,
But you love a new love.
What am I supposed to do now
With you now, you're through?
You'll be on your merry way
And there's only this to say:

I'm through with love
I'll never fall again.
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again.
For I must have you or no one
Because I'm through with love.

I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there.
I have stocked my heart
With an icy, Frigidaire.
For I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love.

Why did you lead me
to think you could care?
You didn't need me
for you had your share
of slaves around you
to hound you and swear
with deep emotion, devotion to you.

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It could never bring the things that used to be.
For I must have you or no one
So I am through with love.

(Instrumental break)

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be.
For I must have you or no one
Because I'm through with love.
