It sounds good, but it could be improved. You have good add lib going on, and a nice vibrato, so there is that. Do you sing often? Because I can tell some notes are hard to hit for you. Mainly, you do not project that much. It makes it sound all nice and sweet, and by the tone of this song, you need a deeper, more sultry voice.
Emphasis on important words will help too. You are singing it in one dynamic, which can make it sound bland if you are not careful. Make more important parts more pronounced, and less important softer.
You have potential, so keep working on your presentation. A good thing for all voice performers to do is to listen to their own voice when singing. Learn to correct what went wrong, and get back to practicing.

Basement - I do sing a lot actually; my problem is that I developed really bad habits of tensing my throat in high school and I'm trying to reverse it but that hasn't gone away yet I'm glad my voice sounds okay on its own but I'll def work on tone and dynamic. this helped, thanks!!
