[Verse 1]
If I were a little bird
I'd fly from tree to tree
I'd build my nest way up the air
Where the bad girls could not bother me
[Chorus]
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
You've broke the heart of many a poor guy
But you'll never break this heart of mine
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
While I wore my poor heart out
While I wore my poor heart out
While I wore my poor heart out
She always passed right by my door
[Chorus]
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
You've broke the heart of a-many poor guy
But you'll never break this heart of mine
[Outro]
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Love, oh love, oh careless love
