Girls Talk

There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder
Thought I heard you mention my name, can't you talk any louder
Don't come any closer, don't come any nearer
My vision of you, can it come any clearer
Ohhhh, I just want to hear girls talk

Got a loaded imagination being fired by girls talk
It's a more or less situation inspired by girls talk
But I can't say, the words you want to hear
I suppose you're going to have to play it by ear, right here
and now girls talk

and they wanna know how girls talk
Girls talk and they say it's not allowed, girls talk
if they say that it's so, don't you think that I know by now

Got the word up on everyone's lipstick
That you're getting faded
You may not be an old fashioned girl
But You're going to get dated
Was it really murder
Were you just pretending
Lately I have heard, you are the living end

Girls talk, and they wanna how, girls talk
and they say its not allowed, girls talk
and they think they know how, girls talk
if they say that its so, don't they think that I know by now.

But I cant say, the words you want to hear
I suppose you're going to have to play it by ear, I hear
there are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder
but I heard you mention my name can't you talk any louder
Don't come any closer, don't come any nearer
my vision of you , can it come any... clearer

Girls talk,
and they wanna how, girls talk
and they say its not allowed, girls talk
and they think they know how, girls talk
