"Girls Talk" lyrics

"Girls Talk"

There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder
I 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 get any clearer

Oh, I just wanna hear girls talk
I got a loaded imagination being fired by girls' talk
It's more or less situation being fired by girls' talk

But I can't say the words you wanna hear
I suppose we'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 you think that I'd know by now?

That the word upon everyone's lipstick
That you're dedicated
You may not be an old fashioned girl
You're still 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
Girls talk and they wanna know how
If they say that it's so, don't you think that I'd know by now?

But I can't say the words you wanna hear
I suppose we're gonna have to play it by ear
Right here
There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder
I 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 get any clearer

Girls talk and they wanna know how
Girls talk and they say it's not allowed
Girls talk and they wanna know how
Girls talk and they say it's not allowed

(Girls talk)
(Girls talk)
(Girls talk)
(Girls talk)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Girls talk)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
