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 want to 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 lips stick 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 want to hear

I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear right here

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 think they 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
