Love Me Or Leave Me
Love me or leave me an' let me be
lonely
you won't believe me but I love you
only!
I'd rather be lonely
than happy with somebody else!
You might find the night time
the right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
for just reminiscing!
Regretting instead of forgetting
with somebody else!
(
Regretting instead of forgetting! )
There'll be no one unless
that someone is you!
I intend to be
independently blue!
I want your love
but I don't want to borrow
to have it today
an' give back tomorrow!
For my love is your love
there's no love for nobody else!
< instrumental break >
Love me or
leave me an' let me be lonely!
Won't you
believe me that I love you only!
Oh, would rather be lonely
than happy with somebody else!
You might
find the night time
the right
time for kissin'
Night time
is my time
for reminiscing!
Regretting instead of forgetting
with somebody else!
And there'll
be no one unless
that someone
is you, you, you!
I intend to be
independently . . .
independently blue!
I want your love
I don't want to borrow
to have it today
give back tomorrow!
For my love is your love
there's no love for nobody else!
Love me or
leave me
an' let me
be lonely . . . Baby!
You're drivin' me wild!
I'd rather be lonely
than happy with somebody else!
