Careless love

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

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
