Lyrics
Careless
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Love, oh love, oh, careless love,
You fly right to my head like wine,
You've wrecked the life of many a gal,
And you nearly wrecked this life of mine.
If I was a little bird,
I would fly from tree to tree;
I'd build my nest up in the air,
Where the bad boys couldn't bother me.
Now I wear my apron high,
Now I wear my apron high,
Now I wear my apron high,
And he never, never passes by.
