Careless love
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 recked the life of many a gal
and you nearly recked the 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.
