Careless Talk Lyrics - Billy Joel

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Photos 

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
