Careless Love Lyrics

Lyrics transcribed from the booklet included with the "My Maudlin Career" CD. Parts in brackets were erronesouly left out of the booklet lyrics despite obviously being a part of the song. Parts enclosed in parentheses are in the booklet lyrics despite not actually being in the recorded version. Sans the bracketed and parenthetical parts, everything else from the booklet checks out to my ears.

Honey I've been really struggling to think of you And I being friends I blow hot and cold, [yeah,] I'm like a yo-yo So I don't think I should see you again Careless love and acting tough It wasn't my style I had enough I don't think [that] we can really be friends

[And] honey, I've been really struggling to think of you And I and all the mess You're often bought and sold The love you give ebb and flows So I don't think I should see you again Careless love and acting tough It wasn't my style, I had enough I don't think that we can really be friends But I'll try again

The love I feel for you is real The love I feel for you is real

Honey I've been really struggling To see this thing through to the end Careless love and acting tough It wasn't my style I had enough I don't think [that] we can really be friends But I'll try again...
