Holiday, Billie - Love Me Or Leave Me Lyrics






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 night time the right time for kissin'
But night time is my time for reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' 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 and give back tomorrow
Your love is my love, there's no love for nobody else

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 night time the right time for kissin'
But night time is my time for reminiscin'
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' 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 and give back tomorrow
Your love is my love, there's no love for nobody else

    I keep playing this song over and over. It is so smooth. Her voice is perfection here. Certainly, she was the Nightingale of Jazz!

  4. G.... ....

    Good Song!!!!!!

  5. N.... R....

    Imagine if she'd been raised by decent, loving parents. Imagine a time when children weren't punished for being raped.

  6. C.... D....

    Billie, please, come back.

  7. d.... S....

    SO TRUE

  8. C.... T....

    Best version ever , pitch perfect

  9. g.... ....

    It is quoted to Billie the statement that "a singer is just a voice". No, Lady Day, it isn't. After having a voice, you need to know what to do with it. Thank You for making my existance so much better!

  16. G.... M....

    Mind boggling how this piece of musical artistic genius song has less views than a Cardi B song, and I like cardi b, but it's crazy.
    . Different times I get it, but damn. Nothing compares to this.

    Here because Public Enemies

  30. R.... V....

    Love is the single most misunderstood of all human emotion. It's misused to punish, given conditionally, withheld and used as a tool to barter with. The most important lesson I've learned thus so far in this incarnation is if it hurts, it's not love.
    Love is only supposed to hurt when the one you love dies and leaves you... No other time. Love is shelter from the storm, a soothsayer, the harbinger of peace and lifts you to the heights of ecstasy.

  31. D.... S....

    This suspense is killing me, I can't stand uncertainty.

  32. P.... B....

    POOR BILLY YOU RESABLE MY DEAR AUNT PHILOMENA LOURENS FROM CURACAO...

  34. E.... D....

    Amo muito canção linda.😍

  35. J.... S....

    So in love with her heroin voice. I hate her story, the entire entertainment industry. Scumbags find flowers in bloom and ruin them.
    I am glad she lives on forever. No love for nobody else...

  36. L.... H....

    FABULOUS

  37. E.... M....

    Play Billie

    Emmett Berry (tp) Jimmy Hamilton (cl) Hymie Schertzer (as) Babe Russin (ts) Teddy Wilson (p) Al Casey (g) John Williams (b) JC Heard (d). Russin has the solo.

  41. A.... ....

    O Jazz toca a alma cara, é incrível. Não se faz mais música como antigamente

  44. D.... G....

    Such sweetness and rythm. ..Her voice seems to come from heaven.

  45. M.... E....

    This song confirms it. My favorite singer hands down!

  46. T.... M....

    Prajval Jhunjhunwala *Blues brother.

    P.... J....

    Prajval Jhunjhunwala Jazz is pretty alive man...

    P.... J....

    Everyone in the "jazz community" is working on it. Wynton Marsalis has done an incredible service internationally for jazz and J.A.L.C. is celebrating 30 years so we're all out here swingin' when people are ready to fully come around.

    P.... J....

    This is and always has been for the few, the very few ...

  78. d.... d....

    There is soo deep feeling in her singing..Beautiful.Smooth..Gentle.

  79. S.... D....

    me sentiments exactly...
    accept alone rather than have
    what g*d ordained at creation..
    let me see no questions or doubts.
    tell me you hold the card.
    i certainly don't have to think united.
    Billie you just put so well I will
    not rephrase. so, universe tell
    me is this the conversation ive
    waited a lifetime for or shall i
    remain quietly moving thru
    life alone. I await your answer...
    i've been enjoying this conversation
    driving me mad but, I continue in
    me dreams until I get relief.
    STEPHANIEL

  87. V.... ....

    Costa Gold money or love

  88. R.... L....

    why oh why did they stop playing songs like this im not interested in the songs on the radio its weird cause im 12 my brothers call me weird was i born in the wrong century

    R.... L....

    Rahmaiya Lewis I get the sentiment, but the fact is, life would be miserable. Many americans still faced extremely awful racism and segregation, especially black people, but even the Irish, despite being white, were treated like dirt back then. I may be white, but I'm also gay and mentally ill, two things people forget weren't very popular back then. The fact is life would be shit for a lot of us. I hate to sound like one of those annoying people yelling about how you don't know how good you have it, but I'm just trying to make a point.

    R.... L....

    Rahmaiya Lewis me to I just cried yesterday because I don’t fit in. But a kindred special spirit you have. Never Ever be ashamed or try to hide who you are. You are dearly special believe me. I wish there was more like you.

    R.... L....

    Rahmaiya Lewis
    This music has heart soul and intellect. It has texture and narrative. Its the story of human beings, our troubles our joys, our lives, all alive eqaully on this spinning ball completely out of our control. I love Billy, Etta, Tammy, my ladies help me to feel alive when I just want to die, they share my loves, my losses, and never do me wrong. Good for you, you're right where you should be. Doing what you should be doin.

    R.... L....

    Budgerigar17
    Those that believe your narrative have been duped. When closely scrutinized the systemic violence alone is more fiercely brutal then ever before. The end of empire is always the most harsh of its life span.
    True the past 7000 years have been a
    Nonsensicle trip down the road to self destruction via Superstition, and illusion.

    R.... L....

    Rahmaiya Lewis reemcarnation my friend I used to play this music send I was a kid I'm in my 40s

  89. m.... m....

    Her voice was at its best here

  90. L.... A....

    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 kissing
    Night time is my time for just reminiscing
    Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

    There'll be no one unless that someone is you
    I intended to be independently blue 

    I want your love, don't wanna borrow
    Have it today to give back tomorrow
    Your love is my love
    There's no love for nobody else

    Say, 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 kissing
    Night time is my time for just reminiscing
    Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else

    There'll be no one unless that someone is you
    I intended to be independently blue 

    Say I want your love, don't wanna borrow
    Have it today to give back tomorrow
    Your love is my love
    My love is your love
    There's no love for nobody else

  91. c.... ....

  95. C.... ....

    (There'll be no one unless that someone is you)
    I intend to be indepently blue.

    Can you even imagine a more clever and subtle feeling envoking line of lyrics to be written?!
    It totally and uniquely conveys the message it wants to bring across. Nowadays it's hard to even find a couple of songs who truely sepperate themselves from other songs lyricwise in the realms of popular music. Man they knew how to write some lyrics back in the day!

  96. G.... C....

    A melhor!!!
