Girls Talk - Elvis Costello
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 upon 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 wanna know about her
Girls talk they wanna know if I care
Girls talk and they wanna know where yeah
Girls talk
Girls talk
