|
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)
