about

The music was written by Walter Donaldson and the lyrics by Gus Kahn. The song was introduced in the Broadway play Whoopee!, which opened in December 1928.[1] Ruth Etting's performance of the song was so popular that she was also given the song to sing in the play Simple Simon, which opened in February 1930.

It is also in the popular Greg Poppleton YouTube 1920s-1930s Background Chill Mix gregpoppletonandhisbakelitebroadcasters.bandcamp.com/album/1920s-1930s-jazz-swing-background-chill-mix

lyrics

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,
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, I don't want to borrow.
To have it today and give back tomorrow.
For my love is your love,
There's no love for somebody else.

I saw Louis Armstrong on TV when I was 3 and have been hooked on 1920s-1930s jazz and swing ever since. I sing songs with some musician characters
