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
