Love Me Or Leave Me - Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker Quartet

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
