Love, oh love, oh careless love, You fly though 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 You've made me break a many true vow
And you set my very soul on fire
Love, oh love, oh careless love, All my happiness I'm left
'Cause you've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin' and talkin' to myself
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Trusted you now it's too late
You've made me throw my only friend out
That's why I sing this song of hate
