Love, oh love, oh careless love ♪ You fly through my head like wine
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl And you nearly spoiled this life of mine Love, oh love, oh careless love ♪ In your clutches of desire ♪ 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 bereft
You've filled my heart with weary old blues Now I'm walkin', 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, 'til judgment I'll atone
