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
