Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Girls Talk (alternate version) lyrics

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 get any clearer Oh, i just want to hear girls talk I 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 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 Got the word up on everyone's lipstick That you're getting faded 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 Girls talk girls talk
