Modern Girl (New Version)

(album: Freedom - 1997)

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 getting by
Doing what she can
She is free to be what she wants to be
All she wants to be is a modern girl
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 taking care of herself

[Chorus]

She used to dream about him 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 t.v.

[Chorus]
