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
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

Got a loaded imagination being fired by girls talk
