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
