Love me or leave me and 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 and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love there's no love for nobody else

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
Won't you believe me 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 and let me be lonely
Baby, you're drivin' me wild
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
