Girls Talk

Dave Edmunds

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

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, 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'd know by now?



Got the word up on everyone's lipstick

That you're getting faded

You may not be an old-fashioned girl

But you're gonna get dated



"Was it really murder?"

"Were you just pretending?"

"Lately I've 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'd now by now?



But I can't say

The words you wanna hear

I suppose you're gonna have to

Play it by ear, I hear



There are some things you can't cover up

With lipstick and powder

But 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
