Modern Girl Lyrics

Modern Girl lyrics

He wakes and says, "hello", turns on the breakfast show
She fixes coffee
while he takes a shower
"Hey, that was great", he said, "I wish we could
stay in bed"
"But I got to be at work in less than an hour"
She manages a
smile as he walks out the door
She's a modern girl who's been through this
movie before

Chorus:

She don't build her world 'round no single
man
But she's gettin' by, doin' what she can
She is free to be, what she
wants to be
'N all she wants to be, is a modern girl
Na na na na na, na
na na na na, na na na na na
She's a modern girl

It looks like rain
again, she takes the train again
She's on her way again through London
town
Where she eats a tangerine, flicks through a magazine
Until it's
time to leave her dreams on the underground
She walks to the office like
everyone else
An independent lady takin' care of
herself

(Chorus)

(Instrumental break)

She's been dreaming
'bout him all day long
As soon as she gets home, it's him on the
telephone
He asks her to dinner, she says, "I'm not free"
"Tonight I'm
gonna stay at home and watch my TV"

I don't build my world 'round no
single man
But I'm (she's) gettin' by, doin' what I (she) can
I (she is)
am free to be, what I (she) want(s) to be
'N all I (she) want(s) to be, is a
modern girl

Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na
She's a
modern girl
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na,
She's a
modern girl

(Repeat and fade)
