Careless Love
Careless Love: Tale of Heartache and Betrayal
Lyrics
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love is depicted as reckless and careless, causing distress.
You've fly through my head like wine
Love has overwhelmed the speaker's thoughts intensely, similar to the effect of wine.
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
Love has ruined the lives of many unfortunate girls.
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
It has almost ruined the speaker's own life.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
The repeated lamentation about the reckless nature of love.
In your clutches of desire
Love's strong grip of desire has entrapped the speaker.
You've made me break a many true vow
Love led the speaker to break many sincere promises.
Then you set my very soul on fire
Love ignited a passionate and intense feeling within the speaker.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Reiteration of love causing sorrow and depriving happiness.
All my happiness bereft
The speaker feels devoid of joy due to love.
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Love has filled the speaker's heart with deep and melancholic emotions.
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
The speaker is now distressed and engaging in self-reflection.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Repetition emphasizing the destructive nature of love.
Trusted you now, it's too late
The speaker trusted love, but now regrets it deeply.
You've made me throw my old friend down
Love caused the speaker to abandon a close friend.
That's why I sing this song of hate
The speaker sings a song of hatred due to the consequences of love.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Continued despair and anguish caused by love.
Night and day, I weep and moan
The speaker suffers day and night, expressing sorrow and pain.
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
Love introduced the wrong person into the speaker's life, perhaps causing suffering due to a bad relationship.
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
The speaker acknowledges wrongdoing and anticipates facing consequences until judgment.
