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
