Lyrics
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, careless, careless heart
