There are some things you can't cover up with lipstick and powder

A G D E

I thought I heard you mention my name, can't you talk any louder?

F#m

Don't come any closer

E/G#

Don't come any nearer

A D

My vision of you can't get any clearer

A G D A G D

Oh I just want to hear girls talk

A G D E

I got a loaded imagination being fired by girls' talk

F#m E/G#

But I can't say the words you want to hear

A D

I suppose you're going to have to play it by ear

A G D

Right here and now, girls talk

A G D

And they want to know how, girls talk

A G D

And they say it's not allowed, girls talk

E

If they say that it's so, don't you think that I know by now?

A G D A G D

That the word upon everyone's lipstick that you're dedicated

A G

Though you may not be an old-fashioned girl

D E

You're still going to get dated

F#m E/G#

Was it really murder? Were you just pretending?

A D G D

Lately I have heard you are the living end, girls talk

A G D

And they wanna know about her, girls talk

A G D

They wanna know if I care, girls talk

A G D

And they wanna know where yeah, girls talk

G D

Girls talk
