Love me or leave me [Croatian translation]

This suspense is killing me,

I can't stand uncertainty.

Tell me "no", I've got to know -

Whether you want me to stay or go.

(Chorus)

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 one unless that someone is you,

I intend to be independently blue.

I want your love but I don't wanna borrow

To have it today, to give back tomorrow.

For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else.

(Chorus)

There'll be no one unless that someone is you,

I intend to be independently blue. (oh, so blue!)

I want your love but I don't wanna borrow

To have it today, to give back tomorrow.

Or I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else...
