by: Indeep

You shot your mouth off
and now you know I'm the talk of the town.
You shot your mouth off
you been spreadin' those rumors around.
You shot your mouth off
and now I find that I'm not alone.
You shot your mouth off
and then it's something I should have known.
When boys talk

When boys talk
they talk about their kicks.
When boys talk
you know what's on their mind.
When boys talk
you know just what you'll find.
let me tell you 'bout my date last night
'cause everything really went right.
Don't get me wrong I don't want to brag
But it was just money in the bag
say money in the bag.
She said I never had a lover like you
you know just what to do.
And then I did it so many times
she started sayin' nursery rhymes.
She say
uh, uh, baby
she say
uh, uh, baby
And when she asked to see me again
I couldn't wait to tell all my friends.
When boys talk
they don't talk politics. . . .
When you're out on the street talkin' trash
You even said that I gave you some cash
why don't you go on the radio
Or get your own T.V. show? Don't broadcast to everyone
'cause my love is one on one
I said one on one
One on one
I said one on one. But if you really think that you should
I'll just tell him that you were no good.
And you know that I would
and you know that I would.
My love is something special to share
so boy
you better start to take care.
And watch your mouth
say watch your mouth
watch your mouth.
When boys talk
they don't talk politics. . . .
Don't you talk about me
don't you talk about me
when boys talk.
When you're out on the street talkin' trash
You even said that I gave you some cash
Or get your own T.V'show
Don't broadcast to everyone
'cause my love is one
On one
I said one on one
One on one
I said one on one.
Burt if you really think
