Was it a marriage made in heaven
Was it a gift from God above
Do you believe the things you told me
Or was it simply careless love

You told me once when we were dreaming
Through life together we would walk
Those words of love seemed said in star light
But now it seems like careless talk

Careless talk costs more than life
Destroys a love before it starts
That careless talk I'm always hearing
Sometimes it broke up on his heart

Oh your lies are jolly melancholy
Your eyes are always slightly sad
But now you're always saying sorry
We've lost the good times that we had

Over all this careless talk
Over all this careless talk
Over all this careless talk
This careless talk
