--------------------------------------------------
Love me or leave me and 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 night time
the right time for kissing,
But night time is my time for
just reminiscing,
Regretting instead of forgetting
with somebody else.
There'll be no else unless that
someone is you, you, you.
I intend to be independently
blue.
I want your love, but I don't
want to borrow,
I have it today and give back
tomorrow,
For my love is your love, but
there's no love for nobody else.
