I'ma spend my time with art and Jonathan
But I'll be damned if I'ma let you rob me out of my soul
Love oh, love, oh careless love
Rob me out of my silver, out of my gold
You made me weep, you made me moan
Now you worried my mother until she died
Rob me of my silver, Lord and out of my gold
You broke my heart now we must part
Love oh, love, oh careless love
Love oh, love, careless love
Never see my careless love again, oh woah
And I'ma stand over you and watch you finish dying
I'ma buy myself a shotgun and I'm gonna shoot you four or five times
I'ma never see my careless love again
I've dumped my triumphs, my share of crying
Now I'll spend my time with art and Jonathan
If you cause my father to lose his mind
You rob me of my silver and out of my gold
Careless love you wrecked my happy home
