Lyrics

Ah, what a wonderful kiss Kisses doesn't mean a thing unless it comes from that special girl That particular girl The one true thing all girls have in common is that they're all pretty long-winded Have you ever tried to phone your wife and give her a message? A very important message, and the phone stays busy for hours and hours And man, don't let it be a long distance call, or you'll really blow your top I know you guys wonder Just what could they be talking about that long Well, okay, I'm gonna tell y'all fellas They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbours' fight Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know Become essential things that women find so apropos But that's a dame, they're all the same It's just a game, they call it girl talk Mm, girl talk They all meow about the ups and downs of all their friends The who, the how, the why, they dish the dirt, it never ends The weaker sex, the speaker sex, we mortal males behold But though we joke, we wouldn't trade them for a ton of gold So baby, stay, and gab away But hear me say That after girl talk, c'mon, talk to me You know what? You just finished a fabulous dinner You're sitting back relaxed in your easy chair, watching your choice TV show As always, just about this time, she wants to gab away about some little thing That you really don't care to know about So what do you do? You just sit there with a bright smile on your face, and grinning there But you know one thing, fella? She wouldn't make you say a word while she's watching Fading Blade So baby stay, and gab away And after girl talk, girl talk Come on, baby, come on and talk to me
