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

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

You rob me of my silver and out of my gold
Rob me out of my silver, 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

Now you worried my mother until she died
If you cause 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 dying

Now I'll spend my time with art and Jonathan
I'ma spend my time with art and Jonathan
I've dumped my triumphs, my share of crying
I'ma never see my careless love again
Never see my careless love again, oh woah
Never see my careless love again
