Let's Talk About Girls
The Chocolate Watch Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want to know why I lost you
You want to know what's wrong with you
But nothing's wrong girl you'll feel so tough
Just lying here for me and that ain't enough

I've got to love them all day not just a few
Got to love those pretty girls is what I've got to do
Oh yeah - let's talk about girls
I said yeah - let's talk about girls
Girls that beg for more

See the pretty girls they're just walking by
Turns me on when she gives me the eye
There goes another looking so fine
I won't be happy till I've make her mine





I've got to love them all day ...
Let's talk about women

Overall Meaning

In The Chocolate Watch Band's song "Let's Talk About Girls", the lyrics portray a male perspective on the attractiveness of women and the objectification of women as mere objects of desire. The song's protagonist cannot resist the allure of pretty girls and cannot be content with just one, despite his partner's questioning of the trouble in their relationship. He asserts that there is nothing wrong with her but his need for multiple women, which he must love all day and not just a few, is something that he must do.


The chorus of the song exhorts listeners to 'talk about girls' and the lyrics give an insight into a male-dominated society, where women are reduced to appearances and are expected to satisfy the male gaze. The song highlights the patriarchal attitude that has been pervasive in society for so long and still exists in different forms today.


Through this song, The Chocolate Watch Band is not only reflecting the attitudes of the era in which the song was released, but also showing how these attitudes continue to persist in today's society. It is important to understand the impact of such attitudes and how it perpetuates gender inequality.
