Love Me

(Leiber / Stoller)







Version 1          Version 2   





Treat me like a fool, treat me mean and cruel, but love me
Break my faithful heart, tear it all apart, but love me
If you ever go, darling, I'll be, oh, so lonely
I'll be sad and blue crying over you, dear, only


I would beg and steal just to feel your heart beating close to mine
If you ever go, darling, I'll be, oh, so lonely
I'll be sad and blue crying over you, dear, only


I would beg and steal just to feel your heart beating close to mine
Well, if you ever go, darling, I'll be, oh, so lonely
Begging on my knees, all I ask is please, please, love me
Oh yes

Treat me like a [G]fool, treat me mean and [G7]cruel, but [C]love me.
Break my faithful [D7]heart, tear it all apart, [D7+]but  [G]love me.[G#dim7][D7]
