In remembrance of Nina Simone, who passed away on April 21st, 2003.
"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 you 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"
I normally don't post all of the lyrics, but come on, isn't this just amazing? Watching her perform the piece might just be in itself a remedy from Nicki Minaj's "Starships." But, out of all the Nina Simone songs, this one is the one I can say proudly fits how I've been feeling the past few days. I hope the song in some way works for you and that we've all used this precious internet time to remember the lovely, Nina Simone.
