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
