Love Me Or Leave Me (9-3-54)
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the nighttime the right time for kissin'
But nighttime is my time for reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else
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 and give it back tomorrow
Your love is my love, there's no love for nobody else
Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me that I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the nighttime the right time for kissin'
But nighttime is my time for reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else
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 and give it back tomorrow
Your love is my love, there's no love for nobody else
You won't believe me and I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the nighttime the right time for kissin'
But nighttime is my time for reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else
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 and give it back tomorrow
Your love is my love, there's no love for nobody else
Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me that I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the nighttime the right time for kissin'
But nighttime is my time for reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else
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 and give it back tomorrow
Your love is my love, there's no love for nobody else
