| 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. |
