Careless Talk And Silly Lies

Your careless talk can buy you trouble
You?d better keep opinions to yourself
What you give out, you 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 intentions
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 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
