Love, oh love, oh careless love,
love, oh love, oh eareless love,
oh it's love, oh love, oh careless love,
you see what careless love has done.
Once I wore my apron low,
once I wore my apron low,
oh it's once I wore my apron low,
you'd follow me through rain and snow.
Now I wear my apron high,
now I wear my apron high,
oh it's now I wear my apron high,
you'll see my door and pass it by.
I cried last night and the night before,
I cried last night and the night before,
oh I cried last night and the night before,
going to cry tonight and cry no more.
Love, oh love, oh careless love,
love, oh love, oh careless love,
oh it's love, oh love, oh careless love,
you see what careless love has done.
