Текст песни Lonnie Johnson - The Loveless Love (1938)

When you in my heart, I’m never left alone.
With you in my heart, I’m never left alone.
You have made me leave my mother and father, now they both is dead and gone.
And you made my heart a steppin’ stone.

When I leave you at night with that smile upon your face.
When I give you my heart and soul for you to hold.
My heart was yours darlin’ both night and day.
Then you took my love and you cast it away.

Careless love, I’m down on my bended knees.
Careless love, have mercy upon me if you please.
Now you took all I had in life, there’s nothin’ left for me.
Careless love, have mercy if you please.

Careless love, how could you treat me this a way?
Careless love, how could you treat me this a way?
My mother and dad is dead and gone to heaven, to never look back this a way.
So have your fun with my heart, ‘cause someday, you’ve got to pay.
