I became the careless whisper
as I withered into your bed
if only I had said yes
we wouldn't be in this mess
but it's all in my head

you'd never get it
you don't know what's wrong with the situation
or that you're in it
you're the star, baby you are

it started out from nothing
getting high and drinking
that time of my life
you wouldn't believe it

how did it get so serious?

I let myself get carried away
as I drifted off into space
it was peaceful to me
until I opened my eyes

to my surprise there you were
intimidating ..

you were the careless whisper
