Love Me or Leave Me Alone
Fleur East Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watch out!
Money, diamonds, shiny things
I can get all that stuff on my own
A little loving comes for free
Can't get right at me if you ain't home

If you don't change your ways
Then I'll go walk right out the door saying
Love, love me or leave me alone
Love me or leave me alone
If you don't change your ways
Then I'll go walk right out the door saying
Love, love me or leave me alone
Love me or leave me alone

You got me so mad, I know you ain't bad
I wish that you could see that you winning
'Cause you have it
Yeah it's so sad, you got me like that
And I don't know why I'm hanging on you it's so tragic
You know you got me coming back like a drug addict
You make me feel like staying with you was a bad habit
Yes you like chance, baby best grab it
I'm too fly to carry on with this baggage

If you don't change your ways
Then I'll go walk right out the door saying
Love, love me or leave me alone
Love me or leave me alone
If you don't change your ways
Then I'll go walk right out the door saying
Love, love me or leave me alone
Love me or leave me alone

Love, love me or leave me alone
Love me or leave me alone
You gotta leave me alone
Love, love me or leave me alone
Love me or leave me alone
Love, love me or leave me alone
Watch out now!

You said you love me
You said you'll never leave me alone
You said you're thinking of taking a minute to make in a house a new home
I say I never had it better, never say never
You taking a break when you should be making it better
Whatever, take the drums, take cars, I don't need cash back
Got my license, take the keys, I don't need the hatch back
I ain't lying, stop believing, ain't no need to back track
I'ma leave your ass quicker than a Snapchat

Money, diamonds, shiny things
I can get all that stuff on my own
A little loving comes for free
Can't get right at me if you ain't home

If you don't change your ways
Then I'll go walk right out the door saying
Love, love me or leave me alone
Love me or leave me alone
If you don't change your ways
Then I'll go walk right out the door saying
Love, love me or leave me alone
Love me or leave me alone

Watch out now, hey
No, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah





Love, love me or leave me alone
Singing love me or leave me alone.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fleur East's "Love Me or Leave Me Alone" are about a relationship in which the singer is feeling undervalued and unappreciated. She begins by saying that she doesn't need material possessions from her partner; all she wants is love, which she believes should be given freely. She then warns that unless he changes his ways and starts treating her better, she will leave him. The chorus repeats this sentiment, making it clear that she will not continue to tolerate feeling unloved and disrespected.


Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges the power that her partner has over her, despite knowing that he is not good for her. She compares her love for him to an addiction, saying that he makes her feel like staying with him is a bad habit. However, she also recognizes her own worth and refuses to continue to put up with his behavior. The line "I'm too fly to carry on with this baggage" shows that she knows she deserves better and is willing to walk away if she doesn't get it.


Overall, "Love Me or Leave Me Alone" is a powerful anthem for anyone who's ever felt undervalued in a relationship. It encourages listeners to recognize their own worth and demand the love and respect they deserve.
