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
