Love Me or Leave Me Lyrics

Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
Night time's the right time for huggin' and kissin'
But night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
I want 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 to give back tomorrow
For my love is your love and no love for nobody else
Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
Night time's the right time for huggin' and kissin'
Night time is my time for just reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else
I want no one
Unless that someone is you
I intend to be
Independently blue
I want your love
Don't wanna borrow
Have it today
Give back tomorrow
'Cause my love is your love
Your love is my love
My love is your love
Nobody else

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
