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