Girls talk
If they say that it`s so
E
Don`t you think that I know by now?
That the word upon everyone`s lips
Stick that you`re dedicated
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 yeah
Girls talk
Girls talk
