"Careless Love" lyrics

"Careless Love"

Love, oh love, oh careless love
You flow to my head like wine
You wrecked the life of a many ol' gal
And you left me with this love of mine

Love, oh love, oh careless love
If your clutches are divine
You've made me break a many true vow
Then you set, you set my very soul on fire

Say love, oh love, oh careless love
All my happiness has left
You've filled my heart with those weary old blues
Now I'm walkin', walkin' and talkin' to myself

Say love, oh love, oh careless love
I trusted you, now it's too late
Boy, you made me so mad, you only brought despair
That's why I sing this, sing this song of hate

Say love, love love love, oh careless love
Night and day, I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
Oh my pain, till judgment I must go
