Lyrics for singles by Dave Edmunds

Girls Talk

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 come any clearer
Oh I just wanna hear girls talk

Got a loaded imagination
Bein' fired by girls talk
It's a more or less situation
Inspired by girls talk

But I can't say
The words you wanna hear
I suppose you'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 they think that I'd know by now?

Got the word up on everyone's lips
Is that you're getting faded
You may not be an old-fashioned girl
But you're gonna get dated

"Was it really murder?"
"Were you just pretending?"
"Lately I've heard..."
"You are the living end"

Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed, girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
If they say that it's so
Don't they think that I'd now by now?

But I can't say
The words you wanna hear
I suppose you're gonna have to
Play it by ear, I hear

I Hear You Knocking

You went away and left me long time ago
And now you're knocking on my door

I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you've been

I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
And now you're telling me all your lies

[chorus]

Ahhh yeah
Let me hear it
Ohhooo woo

OOhh

You better get back to your use-to-be
'cause your kind of love ain't good to me

[chorus]

I told you way back in 52
That I would never go with you

[chorus]
