About When I Get Thru with You

"When I Get Thru with You (You'll Love Me Too)" is a song written by Harlan Howard which became a hit for Patsy Cline in 1962. The song went to #10 on the country chart and #53 on the pop chart. Howard had previously co-written Cline's #1 hit "I Fall to Pieces". Cline sings about how she desperately wants a man that she really likes, the only problem is he has a girlfriend already. So what she decides to do is try to get through with him and in the end she says, "when I get through with you, you'll love me true, not Sue". French singer Françoise Hardy covered the song in 1965 as "Quel mal y a-t-il à ça?"

You think you love Sue
But when I get through with you
You won`t ever look at Sue again.
I`m gonna be so good to you
I`m gonna love you my whole life through
Pretty soon you`ll feel the same
You won`t even know her name
I`ll give ya kisses that she can`t beat
I`ll treat you so nice and sweet
When I get through with you
You`ll love me too, not Sue
When I get through with you
You`ll love me too
I`m gonna treat you sweet and kind
I`ll drive her right outta your mind
And you won`t know her if you meet
Walk right by her on the street
Because I want you and need you so
Poor Susie will have to go
When I get through with you
You`ll love me too, not Sue
When I get through with you
You`ll love me too
I`m gonna be so good to you
I`ll love you my whole life through
Pretty soon you`ll feel the same
You won`t even know her name
I`ll give you kisses that she can`t beat
I`ll treat you so nice and sweet
When I get through with you
You`ll love me too, not Sue
When I get through with you
You`ll love me too, not Sue
When I get through with you
You`ll love me too, not Sue
