Careless Talk - Billy Joel

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
