I'm a married man
And your married too
That's why we got to slow down
With these careless things we do
We can't go on meeting every night
Holding hands at the Blue's Cafe
And we got to stop staying at the hotel
Till the break of day

I want to leave my home and I know that you do
That's why we got to stop these careless things we do
(Careless things we do)
We got to slow down baby
(Careless things we do)
Were going much to fast
(Careless things we do)
It's gonna catch up with us one day
(Careless things we do)

Sometimes we slip away
In the wee hours of the night
And we go some place nice and quite
And do our thing till daylight
We never think about the consequences
We take it one day at a time
Could this be that we just don't care
Or are we just going out of our minds

I have a family at home just as well as you
That's why we got to stop these careless things we do
(Careless things we do)
Oh we got to slow down baby
(Careless things we do)
Ah were going much to fast
(Careless things we do)
Oh it's gonna catch up with us one day
(Careless things we do)

Slow it down baby
Slow it down baby
There's just one more thing I wanna say

Everytime you get a chance
You call me on the phone
And I pretend that your some one else
When my woman is at home
We got to be more aware of the circumstances
Because we're playing a dangerous game
One day our little play house is gonna tumble
We would be left out there in the rain

I got a family at home just as well as you
Ah that's why we got to stop these careless things we do
(Careless things we do)
We got to slow down baby
(Careless things we do)
Were going much to fast baby
(Careless things we do)
It's gonna catch up with us one day yeah
(Careless things we do)
Slow it down baby
(Careless things we do)
Oh we got to slow it down
(Careless things we do)
Slow it down slow it down slow it down
(Careless things we do)
Oh it's gonna catch up with us one day
(Careless things we do)
All good things must pass
(Careless things we do)
Oh it's gonna catch up with us one day
(Careless things we do)
Ooooo baby
(Careless things we do)
