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 doCareless 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 aroundCareless talk
Telling you I'm doing wrong
Jealous talk
Follows wherever you goI'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 saidIn 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 tellCareless talk
Going around on the streets
Jealous talk
I know how bad it can beLet them stand where they fall
They don't know us at all
All that talking won't make a difference to me
