E. Costello
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, 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
I hear there are somethings 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 wanna know how
Girls talk, and they say it's not allowed
Girls talk, and they think they know how
Girls talk
