Elvis Costello — Girls Talk alternate version

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 wanna hear girls talk I got a loaded imagination being fired by girls' talk But I can't say the words you wanna hear I suppose we're gonna have to play it by ear Right here and now Girls talk and they wanna 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 That the word upon everyone's lipstick that you're dedicated You may not be an old fashioned girl, you're still gonna get dated Was it really murder? Were you just pretending? Lately I have heard you are the living end Talk and they wanna know where Girls talk, wanna know about her Girls talk, they wanna know if I care Girls talk, oh yeah, yeah, yeah Whoo!
