[Verse 1]
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, careless love
You broke my heart, now we must part
Love, oh love, oh careless love

[Verse 2]
Love, oh love, careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
You made me weep, you made me moan
Careless love, you wrecked my happy home

[Verse 3]
You rob me of my silver and out of my gold
Rob me out of my silver and out of my gold
Rob me of my silver, Lord, and out of my gold
But I'll be damned if I'ma let you rob me out of my soul

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 4]
Now you worried my mother until she died
And you caused my father to lose his mind
I'ma buy myself a shotgun
And I'm gonna shoot you four or five times
And I'ma stand over you and watch you finish dyin'
[Verse 5]
Now I'll spend my time with Art and Jonathan
I'ma spend my time with Art and Jonathan
I've dumped my triumphs (Ha, yeah)
My share of cryin' (Yeah, oh sure, yeah)
I'ma never see my careless love again
Never see my careless love again, oh, oh woah
Never see my careless love again
