Love, oh love, oh careless love
ย
You fly through my head like wine
ย
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
Love, oh love, oh careless love
ย
In your clutches of desire
ย
You've made me break a many true vow
Then you set my very soul on fire
ย
Love, oh love, oh careless love
ย
All my happiness bereft
ย
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
ย
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Trusted you now, it's too late
ย
You've made me throw my only friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate
ย
Love, oh love, oh careless love
ย
Night and day, I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
For my sins, 'til judgment I'll atone
ย
