			       EDon't (022100@1)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
