Walter Donaldson / Gus Kahn



This affair is killin' me

I can't stand uncertainly

Tell me now I've got to know

Whether you want me to stay or to go



Love me or leave me

Or let me be lonely

You won't believe me, I love you only

I'd rather be lonely

Then happy with someone else



You might find the night time

The right time for kissin'

But night time is my time

For just 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 to give it back tomorrow

For your love is my love

There's no love for nobody else
