Careless Love - Barbara Mandrell

Well I say love, oh love, careless love I said love, oh love, oh careless love Love, please tell me, what have I done? For you to hurt me all in fun Well you know that I once was blind but now I see I say that I once was blind but now I see Well you know I once was blind But I'm so glad, so glad I see That that old love has made a fool of me Well you know what a big fool I have been Let me say what a big fool I have been Let me say what, oh what a big fool that I have been But I'd be, I'd be one all over again Well you know if I can hmm like a morning dove Well if I can hmm like a morning dove Well if I could moan, if I could moan like a morning dove You know I'd moan for everyone in love That's why I say love, oh love, careless love Woah I say love, oh love, careless love

Love, oh love, oh careless love You've fly through my head like wine You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl And you nearly spoiled this life of mine Love, oh love, oh careless love In your clutches of desire You've made me break a many true vow Then you set my very soul on fire Love, oh love, oh careless love All my happiness bereft You've filled my heart with weary old blues Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself Love, oh love, oh careless love Trusted you now, it's too late You've made me throw my only friend down That's why I sing this song of hate Love, oh love, oh careless love Night and day, I weep and mourn You brought the wrong man into this life of mine For my sins, 'til judgment I'll atone

Love, oh love, oh careless love You've fly through my head like wine You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl And you nearly spoiled this life of mine Love, oh love, oh careless love In your clutches of desire You've made me break a many true vow Then you set my very soul on fire Love, oh love, oh careless love All my happiness bereft You've filled my heart with weary old blues Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself Love, oh love, oh careless love Trusted you now, it's too late You've made me throw my old friend down That's why I sing this song of hate Love, oh love, oh careless love Night and day, I weep and moan You brought the wrong man into this life of mine For my sins, till judgment I'll atone

I wrote a careless love "Love me not for I'm above Above a cloud all flat and white And with another love tonight" And then a careless love By weighty cloud above Was ground into the floor To loving breathe no more Lady as I leave you Limp on the floor Distorting our voices Slamming the door I say sorry I say bye bye I say miss you I say cry cry

Sure there be wrong Look at me run Doesn't it on They hit the ground Something get on You feel I run Making it stop Run in to run Sure there be wrong Who carelessly love He's taking it off All again Something be hope Away too long Wandering around It's on to look You carelessly love You carelessly love You carelessly love You carelessly love You carelessly love You carelessly love Sure there be wrong And who should be tough And get it on All again Something get on You care and run Making it rough Time to time You carelessly love You carelessly love You carelessly love You carelessly love You carelessly love

Darling, I'm feeling pretty lonesome I'd call you on the phone some But I don't have a dime Darling, you're so far behind me Tomorrow's gonna find me Further down the line Taking me some paper Pencil in my hand I'm gonna write Darling, you know I feel the cold nights Thinking 'bout the old nights Spent along with you Darling, tears are in my eyes now Knowing I can try now To make it back to you, ooh, ooh Oh, my darling Darling, love you more than ever Wish we were together Darling of mine Darling, I'm feeling pretty lonesome I'd call you on the phone some But I don't have a dime Darling, you're so far behind me Tomorrow's gonna find me Further down the line Oh, my darling (I'm feeling pretty lonesome) I'm feeling pretty lonesome (I'd call you on the phone some) You know I'd call you (But I don't have a dime) Not one thin dime, darling (Darling), oh, my darling (I'm feeling pretty lonesome) Ooh, I'm lonesome (I'd call you on the phone some) (But I don't have a dime), not one thin dime (Darling), oh, my darling (I'm feeling pretty lonesome) I'm feeling lonesome (I'd call you on the phone some) You know I'd call you (But I don't have a dime) Not one thin dime

Tonight's my lucky night I know He talked to me To tell me he's been thinking of me And all this time he's changed his mind Oh, he told me so That's how I know he's gonna love me Tonight's the night We'll turn out the light And love again Like we did back then And we'll start all over Tonight Tonight's my lucky night I'm sure He's at my door I've waited for this chance to hold him And how I see he's needed me Oh, imagine that He's coming back Coming back to live forever Tonight's the night We'll turn out the light And love again Like we did back then And we'll start all over Tonight

(Writers: J. Banks / E. Marrion / H. Thigpen) (Spoken) Hello? You don't know who this is but... The reason I'm calling you is because... I was going through my man's pockets this morning... And I just happened to find your name and number... So woman to woman, I don't think it's wrong to call Now, I don't know how you're gonna take this... You might even hang up the phone... But, you see, it really doesn't make any difference... And it's only fair that I let you know... That "that man" you've been seeing... He's mine... and I love him... So woman to woman I think you'll understand (Song) Woman to woman If you've ever been in love Then you know how I feel And woman to woman Now if you were in my shoes Wouldn't you have done the same thing too? Bridge: Woman to woman I've just got to make you see Woman to woman That you can't take him from me Woman to woman I just can't step aside And let you take what is rightfully mine Chorus: Woman to woman Right or wrong I ain't gonna let you break up my happy home I hope you understand... I love that man... And he's mine Repeat Chorus: Woman to woman If you've ever been in love Then you know how I feel Woman to woman Now if you were in my shoes Wouldn't you have done the same thing too? Woman to woman I've just can't step aside And let you take what's rightfully mine (Country # 4 / Chart Debut 12/24/77 / 1977 MCA Records)
