Tekst:  

I had somebody, somebody who loved me, Someone so good to Me
You were my angel, you were my  heaven
But I was too blind to see
I let you slip away, I guess I never knew
I had the world with you,
I'd be there, still be there in your arms

Chorus:

If not for my Careless Heart,
You'd still be loving me
If not for my Careless Heart
You'd still be mine
I wouldn't have this hurt inside,
l wouldn't have these tears to cry
If not for my Careless Heart
If not for my Careless Heart

I had my chances,
I took advantage
I took it all too far
So now you're gone and I'm all alone
Alone with my lonely heart
I let it fall apart, I didn't care enough
I lost your precious love
You'd be here, still be here in my arms

Chorus:

Bridge:

I'd be loving you, I'd be holding you
I'd be loving you, if not for my
Careless Heart

I wouldn't have this hurt inside,
I wouldn't have these tears to cry

Chorus:
