Careless Love lyrics

( Bessie Smith )



Love, oh love, oh careless love,

You`ve fly though my head like wine

You`ve wrecked the life

Of many a poor girl

And you nearly spoiled this life of mine



Love, oh love, oh careless love,

In your clutches of desire

You`ve made me break a many true vow

Then you set my very soul on fire



Love, oh love, oh careless love,

All my happiness bereft

Cause you`ve filled my heart with weary old blues

Now I`m walkin` talkin` to myself



Love, oh love, oh careless love,

Trusted you now it`s too late

You`ve made me throw my old friend down

That`s why I sing this song of hate



Love, oh love, oh careless love,

Night and day I weep and moan

You brought the wrong man into this life of mine

For mysins till judgement I`ll atone
