Leave Me Or Love Me (1961)

Yes, love me or leave me, do anything you want to do.
Yes, love me or leave me, anything you want to do.
You got to straighten up and fly right baby, ‘cause I just can't stand the things you do.

If you don't want me baby, then why don't you let me be?
If you don't want me baby, why don't you let me be?
‘Cause I'd be better off without you, ‘cause with you I'm livin' in misery.

Play it papa, play it! [spoken words – Lonnie Johnson]

Every night I close my eyes, through the night I can't hardly sleep.
Yes, every night I close my eyes, all through the night I can't hardly sleep.
Well, if you don't want me baby, then why in the devil don't you let me be?
