Billie Holiday - Carelessly Lyrics

Songwriters: C. Kenny, N. Ellis, N. Kenny

How carelessly you gave me your heart
And carelessly I broke it, sweetheart
I took each tender kiss you gave to me
Every kiss made you a slave to me

Then carelessly, I told you goodbye
But now at night I wake up and cry
I wish, I knew a way to find the love
I threw away so carelessly

Send "Carelessly" Ringtone to your Cell
