Lyrics for 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 want to hear girls talk I got a loaded imagination being fired 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 want to 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 know by now That the word up on everyone`s lips Stick that you`re dedicated Though you may not be an old fashioned girl You`re still 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 want to know about her Girls talk, they want to know if I care Girls talk and they want to know where Girls talk girls talk
