[Verse 1]
I was good to you, and lovin’ all the time
I was good to you, and lovin’ all the time
I was good to you, and lovin’ all the time
Still you never would be mine

You took away, my silver and gold
You took away, my silver and gold
You took away, my silver and gold
But you sure can’t take away my soul

[Chorus]
It’s love, careless, reckless love
It’s love, careless, reckless love
It’s love, careless, reckless love
There’s nothing in this world that I won’t do

[Verse 2]
My heart is sad and muddy all the time
My heart is sad and muddy all the time
My heart is muddy, got trouble rising high
The one I love, just won’t be mine

I stand here alone, in my back door
I stand alone, in my back door
I stand alone, in my back door
And that’s something I never did before
[Chorus]
It’s love, careless, reckless love
It’s love, careless, reckless love
It’s love, careless, reckless love
There’s nothing in this world that I won’t do
