Careless talk
Thats what you heard about me
Jealous talk
Thats what I heard about you
Everybodys telling lies
I dont even know why
Why cant people
Find something better to do

Careless talk
I dont believe what they say
I heard them talk
They say youve been putting me down
In the shadows on the phone
They wont leave us alone
Theyve been talking
Ever since you came around

Careless talk
Telling you Im doing wrong
Jealous talk
Follows wherever you go

Im aware of what you heard
Every terrible word
Everybodys making believe that they know
All of the intimate things
That we ever might have said

In the heat of a passionate moment
In a conversation shared
For the ears of nobody else
There are some things they will never hear
There are secrets Ill never tell

Careless talk
Going around on the streets
Jealous talk
I know how bad it can be

Let them stand where they fall
They dont know us at all
All that talking wont make a difference to me
