Girl Talk
Whispers of Womanhood: Julie London's Girl Talk Revels in the Intricacies of Female Bonding
Lyrics
We like to chat about the dresses we will wear tonight
We enjoy discussing the outfits we plan to wear tonight.
We chew the fat about our tresses and the neighbours' fight
We gossip about our hair and the conflicts our neighbors are having.
Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know
We talk about trivial things that men may not find interesting.
Become essential things that women find so apropos
These seemingly unimportant topics become crucial for women.
But that's a dame, we're all the same it's just a game we call it
Regardless of individual differences, women are united in this social interaction, which they playfully call a game.
Girl talk, girl talk
This social interaction is referred to as "Girl talk."
We all me-ouw about the ups and downs of all our friends
We talk about the highs and lows of our friends' lives.
The who, the how, the why, we dish the dirt, it never ends
We discuss the details - who, how, and why - and gossip never seems to end.
We're weaker sex, the speaker sex you mortal males behold
Women are sometimes considered the weaker sex, but men should appreciate and understand them.
But though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold
Despite playful banter, women value men and wouldn't trade them for anything valuable.
It's all been planned
There's a plan or order to these conversations.
So take my hand
Offering a hand, suggesting a connection.
Please understand
Requesting understanding from the listener.
The sweetest girl talk, talks of you
The most pleasant "girl talk" involves discussing you.
It's all been planned
Reiteration of a plan or order in the conversation.
So take my hand
Another invitation to join hands in this social exchange.
Please understand
A plea for understanding continues.
The sweetest girl talk, talks of you
Emphasizing that the most delightful "girl talk" revolves around talking about you.
You
A direct reference to the listener, possibly a specific person being discussed throughout the song.
