Careless talk

That's what you heard about me

Jealous talk

That's what I heard about you

Everybody's telling lies

I don't even know why

Why can't people

Find something better to do

Careless talk

I don't believe what they say

I heard them talk

They say you've been putting me down

In the shadows on the phone

They won't leave us alone

They've been talking

Ever since you came around

Careless talk

Telling you I'm doing wrong

Jealous talk

Follows wherever you go

I'm aware of what you heard

Every terrible word

Everybody's 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 I'll 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 don't know us at all

All that talking won't make a difference to me
