Modern Girl

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

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 a train again

She's on her way again through

London town, where she

Keeps 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

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

She's been dreaming 'bout it

All day long

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 going to stay at home

And watch my TV

I don't build my world

'Round no single man

But I'm gettin' by

(But she's gettin' by)

Doin' what I can

(Doin' what she can)

I am free to be

(She's free to be)

What I want to be

(What she wants to be)

'N all I want 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

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

Na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na
