You see what careless love will do You see what careless love will do You see what careless love will do Makes you kill yourself and your lover too You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan You caused me to weep, you caused me to moan You caused me to leave my happy home Don't ever drive a stranger from your door Don't ever drive a stranger from your door Don't ever drive a stranger from your door Or you'll surely reap just what you sow There's many a poor girl led from home There's many a poor girl led from home There's many a poor girl led from home But you can't turn a hard heart like my own You passed my door and you wouldn't come in You passed my door and you wouldn't come in You passed my door and you wouldn't come in Now you see what careless love will do
