Girl Talk
Caecilie Norby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We chew the fat about our tresses and the neighbor's fight
Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know
Become essential things that women find so apropos
But that's a dame
We're all the same
It's just a game
Girl talk
We all meow about the ups and downs of all our friends
The who, the how, the why, we dish the dirt, it never ends
The weaker sex, the speaker sex, you mortal males behold
But though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold
It's all been planned
So take my hand
Please understand
The sweetest girl talk
Talks of you
The song "Girl Talk" by Caecilie Norby speaks about the conversations between women that are usually considered insignificant by men. Women tend to talk about their dresses, hairstyles, and gossips about their friends, neighbors, and family. Although these topics may seem trivial, they are essential to the connection and bond between women. These conversations are referred to as "Girl Talk," which is nothing but a game and men do not seem to care about these topics. However, these are the topics that women enjoy discussing and spending their time on.
Throughout the song, Caecilie Norby highlights the differences between men and women's approach to conversing. The lyrics suggest that women have a unique way of expressing themselves, and their style of chatting is something that most men cannot understand. However, the singer acknowledges that this is just how they are, and it is their way of connecting with each other. The song concludes by emphasizing that, despite their differences, women still value and appreciate the men in their lives.
