Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Neath) is a Welsh singer. Born into a large working-class family of six children, her father worked as a miner while her mother, an opera fan, shared her love of music with her children. Influenced by the music of Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, as a teen she sang with a group called "Bobby Wayne and the Dixies," following which she formed her own band, calling it Imagination. Adopting different stage names until settling on Bonnie Tyler, for nearly a decade she and her band performed at pubs and nightclubs all over South Wales. In 1975 Bonnie Tyler recorded her first single for RCA Records called "My My Honeycomb" that failed to make the charts.

Careless Heart Lyrics
Bonnie Tyler
(albert hammond, diane warren, roy orbison)
Producer for bonnie: roy bittan
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
Id be there, still be there in your arms
Chorus:
If not for my careless heart
Youd still be loving me
If not for my careless heart
Youd still be mine
I wouldnt have this hurt inside
L wouldnt 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 youre gone and Im all alone
Alone with my lonely heart
I let it fall apart, I didnt care enough
I lost your precious love
Youd be here, still be here in my arms
Chorus:
Bridge:
Id be loving you, Id be holding you
Id be loving you, if not for my
Careless heart
Instrumental:
I wouldnt have this hurt inside
I wouldnt have these tears to cry
Chorus:
