Yes, if I was a tiny bird

You know I would fly from tree to tree

Then I'd build my nest so high up in the air

That all them bad folks just wouldn't be able to get at me

Now love, oh love, oh careless love

You go to my head like wine

You know you've wrecked the lives of so many, many good guys

But you weren't satisfied, you tried to wreck this life of mine

It's 'round about midnight and the lights are burnin' low

It's 'round about midnight and the lights are burnin' low

I've wasted my money, I've lost my love

There's just nothing else worth thinking of

It's 'round about midnight and the

Lights are burnin' low, oh careless love
