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've 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 our 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 Every time 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

Careless, careless We're getting careless

We're getting careless

Careless, careless Careless with our love

Careless with our love

Careless with our love Careless with our love

Careless with our love

Careless with our love
