Lyrics

Love, oh love, oh careless love You've 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 mourn You brought the wrong man into this life of mine For my sins, 'til judgment I'll atone
