Love oh love oh careless love
Can't you see what careless love done to me
It made me wrong and leave my happy home
It was love oh love oh careless love

It tied me to your apron string
It tied me to your apron string
You said that you love me
And it didn't mean a thing
It was love oh love oh careless love

Love oh love oh careless love
Can't you see what careless love done to me
It made me wrong and leave my happy home
It was love oh love oh careless love

It tied me to your apron string
It tied me to your apron string
You said that you love me
And it didn't mean a thing
It was love oh love oh careless love
