Careless Talk And Silly Lies
Your careless talk can buy you trouble
You better keep opinions to yourself
What you give out you'll get back double
So stop your lying it's a waste of time
You know damn well that you're out of line
But these rumours are not true
Is the message getting through?
Your careless talk, and your silly lies
Can be misunderstood
(Maybe you hoped they would)
Most of the time it's your invention
You just can't help repeating silly lies
I'm not convinced in your good invention
I hear you telling everyone you meet
That I just don't care and I'm indiscreet
But these rumours are not true
Is the message getting through?
Your careless talk, and your silly lies
Can be misunderstood
(Maybe you hoped they would)
What you give out you'll get back double
So stop your lying it's a waste of time
You know damn well that you're out of line
But these rumours are not true
Is the message getting through?
Your careless talk, and your silly lies
Can be misunderstood
The stories you create make lies communicate
Your careless talk, and your silly lies
Can force a heart to break
But these rumours are not true
Is the message getting through?
Your careless talk, and your silly lies
Can be misunderstood
