VERSE 1
YOUR CARELESS TALK
CAN BUY YOU TROUBLE
YOU'D BETTER KEEP OPINIONS TO YOURSELF
WHAT YOU GIVE OUT
YOU'LL GET BACK DOUBLE

BRIDGE 1
SO STOP YOUR LYING
IT'S A WASTE OF TIME
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT
YOU'RE OUT OF LINE

CHORUS 1
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)

VERSE 2
MOST OF THE TIME
IT'S YOUR INVENTION
YOU JUST CAN'T HELP REPEATING SILLY LIES
I'M NOT CONVINCED
IN YOUR GOOD INTENTION

BRIDGE 2
I HEAR YOU TELLING EVERYONE YOU MEET
THAT I JUST DON'T CARE
AND I'M INDISCREET

CHORUS 1
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)

INSTRUMENTAL

WHAT YOU GIVE OUT
YOU'LL GET BACK DOUBLE

BRIDGE 3
SO STOP YOUR LYING
IT'S A WASTE OF TIME
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT
YOU'RE OUT OF LINE

CHORUS 2
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)
THE STORIES YOU CREATE
MAKE LIES COMMUNICATE
YOUR CARELESS TALK AND YOUR SILLY LIES
CAN FORCE A HEART TO BREAK

CHORUS 2 TO FADE
