I'm Through (Trying to Prove My Love to You)

Yeah, I know you laugh.
You've had your last laugh. Tough.
You laughed a whole lot of times as I walked out the door and said, "Don't worry, he be back. See, he's in love and he's hung up."
You see, God, if he don't see that you want something that's good for you and he
takes it and gives it to somebody else that he feels he can use it.
That's why today I can say that
Oh, I'm through (I'm through, I'm through)
Trying to prove my love to you.
I'm through, oh girl, I'm through.
(I'm through, I'm through)
Sometimes I gave up the right when I know he was wrong.
(I'm through, I'm through) But I believe today I can stand up on my own.
(I'm through, I'm through, I'm through, I'm through.) Well.
But I found someone
And I think she understands what it really means,
What it really means to have a real man,
Her daily deeds and the things she do or say.
She said, "I'm not trying to take that other woman's place,
But if I can't help you, it's I swear I won't stand in your way.
Tell that woman you're through.
(I try to prove my love.)
Trying to prove your love to her."
She said, "Tell that woman that you're through, boy."
(I'm trying to prove my love.)
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,
I'm through staying up all night waiting for 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.
It always happens in so many love affairs.
Oh, you're so well loved
And tomorrow, tomorrow, you just don't care.
When you're tired and you give someone loving the other
And oh, the other one go running in the streets,
Running in the streets to find it and another.
Oh, 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.
Well, I'm through, baby.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't feel bad about it, no, no,
'Cause I gave everything I had.
