Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Got a loaded imagination bein' 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
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
But 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 pretendin'?
Lately I have heard you are the living end
Girls talk
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
But I can't say the words you wanna hear
I suppose you're gonna have to play it by ear
I hear
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
