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
