Lyrics
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Expressing the theme of love and its careless nature.
You've fly through my head like wine
Love is described as intoxicating, overwhelming the speaker's thoughts.
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
Love is destructive, causing hardship for many unfortunate individuals.
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
Love has the potential to ruin the speaker's own life.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Reiterating the theme of love's carelessness and its grip on desire.
In your clutches of desire
Love's desire has led the speaker to break sincere promises.
You've made me break a many true vow
Love ignites the speaker's soul but also leads to breaking vows.
Then you set my very soul on fire
Highlighting the consequences of love's reckless nature.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love has taken away the speaker's happiness.
All my happiness bereft
The speaker's heart is filled with sorrow and weariness due to love.
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Expressing the emotional burden of love with the blues.
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
The impact of love is so profound that the speaker is left alone, talking to oneself.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Repeating the theme of love's carelessness and its consequences.
Trusted you now, it's too late
The speaker trusted love, but now it's too late to change the outcome.
You've made me throw my old friend down
Love forces the speaker to sever connections with a loyal friend.
That's why I sing this song of hate
Explaining the source of the speaker's feelings of hatred towards love.
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Re-emphasizing the impact of love on the speaker's emotions.
Night and day, I weep and moan
The speaker experiences constant sorrow and mourning due to love.
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
Love is blamed for bringing the wrong person into the speaker's life.
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
The speaker anticipates facing judgment for the sins associated with love.
