Billie Holiday
Love Me or Leave Me [08-07-41]
[Intro]
This suspense is killin' me
I can’t stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I've got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go

[Verse 1]
Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me, I love you only
I’d rather be lonely
Than happy with somebody else

[Verse 2]
You might find the night time the right time for kissin'
But night time is my time for just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin'
With somebody else

[Bridge]
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue

[Verse 3]
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
To have it today to give back tomorrow
For your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else
[Bridge]
There’ll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue

[Verse 3]
I want your love but I don’t want to borrow
To have it today and to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else
