In 1931 Bing placed an incredible 22 songs in the top 20 of the pop charts. Nearly everything he recorded that year charted. Among this unprecedented array of hits was this pitiful song that Bing first recorded on June 12 for Brunswick. The song rose to No. 3 on the pop charts that summer.
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
And so I'm through with love.
I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there.
I have stocked my heart
with icy, frigid air.
And 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 and devotion to you.
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
And so 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 and devotion to you.
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
And so I'm through with love.
