Talk Of All The USA Lyrics
Middle Of The Road
Lyrics
Julie puts her make up
on her face ev'ry day
she's a woman
yes I know
she's a woman
even so
she's the talk of all the USA
oh
yeah
the talk of all the USA.
I went out with Julie
to a party one night.
She's a woman...
I was mad I completely
turned blind
she wouldn't let me love her
and it blew my mind
Julie said man
I must be very sure
she told me that she'd
never been loved before.
Then I put my coat on
we decided to go.
She's a woman...
On the way back home
I tried with Julie again
She's a woman...
In the car with remote
controlled hands
I knew that little Julie
she would understand
when I got there before my very eyes
I'll tell you man
I got myself a big surprise.
Julie had that something
other girls didn't have.
She's a woman...
