Accompaniment track:


Lyrics

Love was the thing that you wanted
That’s why we answered love’s call
Now that you’ve got what you wanted
You don’t seem to want it at all

Chorus
Careless, now that you’ve got me loving you
You’re careless, careless in everything you do
You break appointments and think you are smart
If you’re not careful, you’ll break my heart
Careless, now that my bridges all are burned
You’re careless, careless in things where I’m concerned
Are you just careless as you seem to be
Or do you just care less for me?
