Billy Joel Careless Talk Lyrics

Careless Talk Lyrics

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
