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

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
