Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love me or leave me, I'd rather 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 right time for kissing
Night time, my time reminiscing
Regretting and stay in love, forget it with somebody else
[Verse 3]
And there'll be no one less, that someone is you
I intend to be independently so blue
[Verse 4]
I want your love, don't want to borrow
Have it today, give back tomorrow
For my love, your love, no love, nobody else
[Verse 5]
Love me or leave me
Let me be lonely
You won't believe me and I love you only
Rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
[Verse 6]
Might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for reminiscing
Regretting and stay in love, forget it with somebody else
[Verse 7]
And there'll be no one less, that someone is you
I intend to be independently so blue
I want your love, don't want to borrow
Have it today, give back tomorrow
My love, your love, no love, nobody else
[Verse 8]
There'll be no one less, that someone is you
I intend to be independently so blue
I want your love, don't want to borrow
Have it today, give back tomorrow
My love, your love, no love, nobody else
My love, your love, no love, nobody else
My love, your love, no love, nobody else
