Wake up, little darling
It`s time to go home
If sunrise catch us sleeping
We`ll be caught up in the wrong
Last time we were together
You made it home in
Just the nick of time
We got so much love between us
It`s getting hard to meet the deadline
We`re getting careless with our love
We`re getting careless with our love
So careless with our love affair
Wake up, little darling
Because time, it won`t stand still
Going home to someone
You don`t love no more
I know it`s against your will
I hate to see you leave
With tears all over your face
Just like Sherlock Holmes
The whole world is on my case
We`re getting careless with our love
I can`t help but get careless with our love
We`re getting careless with our love affair
Some people say that it`s wrong
But it`s the only love we know
And it keeps on getting strong
Everytime we see each other
Our love gets a little stronger
That`s why I don`t want you to leave
I wanna hold you a little longer
We`re getting careless with our love
I can`t help but get careless with our love
We`re getting careless with our love affair
Lord, have mercy now
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
I think we better find, I think
We better find another meeting place
Before the whole world is gonna know
We might mess around
And make a disgrace
You see, honey
The rumors are spreading
The rumors are spreading all over town
And we don`t wanna be like Mrs.Jones
We can`t meet at the same place
Every time I see you, baby
I know other folk can see that
Look that we have in our eyes
Yeah, when you see me
You`re supposed to walk on by
But I can feel it in my heart
That we`re getting careless
Careless, careless, careless
We`re getting careless
We`re getting careless
Careless, careless, careless
Careless, careless , yeah
We`re getting careless
Careless, careless, careless
We`re getting so careless
