"Girls Talk" lyrics
Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs Lyrics
"Girls Talk"
(originally by Elvis Costello)
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't come any clearer
Oh, I just wanna 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 wanna hear
I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear, right here, and now
Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed, girls talk
If they say that it's so
Don't they think that I know by now
That the word up on everyone's lipstick that you're dedicated
You may not be an old-fashioned girl but you're gonna get dated
Was it really murder, were you just pretending
Lately I have heard you are the living end
Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed, girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
If they say that it's so
Don't they think that I know by now
But I can't say the words you wanna hear
I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear, I hear
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't come any clearer
Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed, girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
Girls talk, girls talk
Girls talk, girls talk
Girls talk, girls talk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah girls talk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah girls talk

Fountains Of Wayne - "Little Red Light" Sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee
Fifty million people out in front of me

The Wallflowers - "6th Avenue Heartache" Sirens ring, the shots ring out
A stranger cries, screams out loud
I had my world strapped against my back
I held my hands, never knew how to act

Was...
Kathleen Edwards - "Back To Me" I've got ways to make you sorry
start my life with someone else
I've got ways to make you fall
I'll tell you all the things that I lied about
I've got ways to make you mad

The Jayhawks - "Blue" Where have all my friends gone
They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day
You're all that was there
Stood by unbelievin'
Stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone
Turned out I was...
The Smithereens - "Only A Memory" My mind is filled with thoughts of you
I think about the days of two
I search the room but you're not there
Your perfume lingers everywhere
But it's only a memory
Of what our love was going to be...
