Careless Boy

 By: Paul Grady 2018

VERSE 1

He’s one of those careless boys
Who never stop to think
Yeah he might spill your drink
A glass of Beaujolais all down your dress

VERSE 2
And he will make you laugh
And he’ll apologize
And here comes a surprise-
How love begins is anybody’s guess

CHORUS
He’ll say life’s a carnival
A ride on a ferris wheel
And you won’t know which end is up
And he won’t know how you feel
Yeah he won’t know how you feel
He’s a careless boy
He’s a careless boy
He’s a careless boy

VERSE 3
And if you take him home
He won’t put things away
And after a few days 
Your apartment and your heart are both a mess

VERSE 4
Oh those careless boys
And damn their carefree ways
What else is there to say?
And you wonder will it end like all the rest

CHORUS

BRIDGE 
And I will be there when that careless boy has left your town
I’ll be sweeping up the midway while the rides are taken down
Like the ribbons in your hair all the promises he made 
In the early summer shade
By September have all come undone

CHORUS
