Roy Orbison - Careless Heart Lyrics

Artist: Roy Orbison

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Albert Louis Hammond, Roy Kelton Orbison, Diane Eve Warren

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

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
I 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

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
I wouldn't have these tears to cry
If not for my careless heart
If not for my careless heart
You'd still be mine

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
If not for my careless heart
If not for my careless heart

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
I wouldn't have these tears to cry
If not for my careless heart
If not for my careless heart

If not for my careless heart
You'd still be loving me
You'd be loving me
You'd still be mine

If not for my careless heart
You'd still be mine
I wouldn't have this hurt inside
I wouldn't have these tears to cry
