Lyrics:

(Girls talk)

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 want to 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 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'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 have heard, you are the living end

(Girls talk)

And they want to 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 you think that I'd 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 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

(Girls talk)

And they want to know how (Girls talk)

And they say it's not allowed (Girls talk)

And they think they know how (Girls talk)

(Girls talk)

(Girls talk)

(Girls talk)

(Girls talk)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Girls talk)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
