Careless summer love,
could you be mine?

Who loves you anyway? Me, myself and I…?

The way you look tonight…breaks
my foolish heart.

I can’t give you anything but love!

So the mood that I’m in, is yours and mine…
twenty-four hours a day.

But you let me down!

Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone.

Because this was my last love affair. I’m already flying back home!

To a nightclub where my stormy blues belong…..
