After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1947. Her early roles were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received. She was praised for her comedic ability in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire and The Seven Year Itch, and became one of Hollywood's most popular and glamorous performers.
The typecasting of Monroe's "dumb blonde" persona limited her career prospects, so she broadened her range. She studied at the Actors Studio and formed Marilyn Monroe Productions. Her dramatic performance in William Inge's Bus Stop was hailed by critics, and she won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like it Hot.
The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially classified as a "probable suicide", the possibility of an accidental overdose has not been ruled out, while conspiracy theorists argue that she was murdered.
In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.
Marilyn's personal life started at a young age at age of 16 when she firstly married James Dougherty on August 5, 1942 in Brentwood, California.
She divorced Dougherty on May 19, 1946.
After Monroe made How To Marry A Millionaire (1953) in 1953. She met Joe DiMaggio on December 30, 1954 at nightclub in Vegas. They married on January 14, 1954 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
She alleged that DiMaggio raped her on her wedding night. They divorced on August 4, 1954 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Monroe married Arthur Miller on June 4, 1956 in Phoenix, Nevada. They moved to Brentwood, California in early August 1956.
The couple divorced on November 12, 1961 in Los Angeles, California. She was found dead at her home in Brentwood, California after a barbiturate (sleeping pill) overdose on August 5, 1962 when she was age 36.
I'm Through with Love
Marilyn Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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've 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, 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 can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love
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
And so I'm through with
Baby, I'm through with love
In Marilyn Monroe's song "I'm Through With Love", the singer is declaring their decision to be done with love. The repetition of the phrase "I'm through with love" emphasizes the firmness of this decision. The singer expresses the hurt they have experienced in the past through lines like "Why did you lead me to think you could care?" and "Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me/It can never bring the thing that used to be". The use of the word "slaves" to describe those who previously loved and cared for the singer suggests a feeling of being trapped or used in those past relationships.
The second verse presents the singer's plan to protect themselves from further hurt by locking their heart and filling it with "icy, frigid air". The phrase "And I mean to care for no one" reinforces the idea that the singer is closing themselves off completely. The repetition of the final line "Because I'm through with love" at the end of both verses and the song as a whole illustrates the finality of this decision.
Overall, the song presents a bleak outlook on the subject of love and relationships, with the singer feeling deeply hurt and disillusioned. The use of repetition and strong imagery creates a sense of finality and closure, suggesting that the singer is truly done with love.

Ho chiuso con l'amore
Non mi innamorerò mai più
Ho detto addio all'amore
Non chiamare mai più
Perché devo avere te o nessuno
E così ho chiuso con l'amore
Ho chiuso il mio cuore
Terrò i miei sentimenti lì
Ho rifornito il mio cuore
Di aria gelida, frigida
E non voglio preoccuparmi di nessuno
Perché ho chiuso con l'amore
Perché mi hai fatto credere
A pensare che ti potesse importare?
Non avevi bisogno di me
Perché avevi la tua parte di schiavi
di schiavi intorno a te
Che ti perseguitavano e giuravano
Con profonda emozione e devozione per te
Addio alla primavera e a tutto ciò che ha significato per me
Non potrà mai portare quello che c'era un tempo
Perché devo avere te o nessuno
E così ho chiuso con l'amore
Addio alla primavera e a tutto ciò che ha significato per me
Non potrà mai portare la cosa che era un tempo
Perché devo avere te o nessuno
E così ho chiuso con l'amore
E così ho chiuso con...
Baby ho chiuso con l'amore

Ich bin fertig mit der Liebe
Ich werde mich nie wieder verlieben
Ich sage der Liebe Adieu
Rufe nie wieder an
Denn ich muss dich haben oder niemanden
Und so bin ich fertig mit der Liebe
Ich habe mein Herz verschlossen
Ich bewahre meine Gefühle dort auf
Ich habe mein Herz gefüllt
Mit eisiger, frigider Luft
Und ich habe vor, mich um niemanden zu kümmern
Denn ich bin fertig mit der Liebe
Warum hast du mich dazu gebracht
Zu denken, dass du dich kümmern könntest?
Du hast mich nicht gebraucht
Denn du hattest deinen Anteil
Von Sklaven um dich herum
Um dich zu jagen und zu schwören
Mit tiefen Gefühlen und Hingabe an dich
Auf Wiedersehen Frühling und alles was er mir bedeutet
Er kann nie mehr das bringen, was er einmal war
Denn ich muss dich haben oder niemanden
Und so bin ich fertig mit der Liebe
Auf Wiedersehen Frühling und alles was er mir bedeutete
Er kann nie mehr das bringen, was er einmal war
Denn ich muss dich haben oder niemanden
Und so bin ich fertig mit der Liebe
Und so bin ich fertig mit...
Baby, ich bin fertig mit der Liebe

J'en ai fini avec l'amour
Je ne tomberai plus jamais
J'ai dit adieu à l'amour
Ne m'appelle plus jamais
Car je dois t'avoir toi ou personne
Et donc j'en ai fini avec l'amour
J'ai verrouillé mon cœur
Je vais y garder mes sentiments
J'ai rempli mon coeur
Avec de l'air glacé, frigide
Et j'ai l'intention de ne me soucier de personne
Parce que j'en ai fini avec l'amour
Pourquoi m'as-tu fait croire
que tu pouvais te soucier de moi?
Tu n'avais pas besoin de moi
Car tu avais ta part
D'esclaves autour de toi
Pour te traquer et jurer
Avec une profonde émotion et dévotion pour toi
Adieu au printemps et à tout ce qu'il signifiait pour moi
Il ne pourra jamais apporter ce qu'il était auparavant
Car je dois t'avoir toi ou personne
Et donc j'en ai fini avec l'amour
Au revoir au printemps et à tout ce qu'il signifiait pour moi
Il ne peut jamais apporter la chose qui était auparavant
Car je dois t'avoir toi ou personne
Et j'en ai fini avec l'amour
Et j'en ai fini avec...
Bébé, j'en ai fini avec l'amour

She was victimized by everyone. All she wanted was a family and to be loved! I love this woman! RIP Norma Jeane, you are safe now.

xero925 Miller wasn't so bad, they just weren't totally compatible as husband and wife because of the age difference

Same. And I'm through with love too. Every single one is the same.

She used men and wasn't satisfied. She may be a victim of her circumstances but she was hardly innocent.

She had a gorgeous singing voice, very gentle but filled with emotion all the same.
