If I were a little bird, I'd fly from tree to tree. I'd build my nest way up in the air, where the bad boys could not bother me. Love, oh love, oh careless love. Love, oh careless love. Love, oh love, oh careless love. Love, oh careless love. You broke the heart of a many poor girls, but you'll never break this heart of mine. Love, oh love, oh careless love. Love, oh careless love. You fly to my head like wine. Fly to my head like wine. You've wrecked the life of a many poor gals, and you nearly spoiled this life of mine. This heart of mine. Love, oh love, oh careless love. Love, oh careless love. Night and day I weep and mourn. I weep, I weep and mourn. You brought the wrong man into my life. For my sins until judgment I'll atone. Love, oh love, oh careless love. Here is all that I can say. Just like a gypsy I'm roaming around and just can't keep the blues away. Love, oh love, oh careless love. You break the heart of a many poor gals, and you nearly spoiled this life of mine. This heart of mine.
