Danny Kaye - Love Me or Leave Me Lyrics

This suspense is killing me
I can't stand uncertainty
Tell me now, I got to know
Whether you want me to stay or go

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 kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting 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, to give back tomorrow
For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else

Oh, love me or leave me, 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 kissing
But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue, oh, so blue

I want your love, but I don't want to borrow
To have it today, to give back tomorrow
For I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else
