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?

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
