Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
See what love has done to me.
Love oh love how can it be, [three times]
To love a boy that don't love me.
Love oh love oh careless love, [three times]
See what love has done to me.
Mama, mama yonder he goes, [three times]
Brand new car and suit of clothes,
Love oh love oh careless love, [three times]
See what love has done to me.
All day long I sit and cry,
He don't stop when he goes by.
Love oh love oh careless love,
See what love has done to me.
