|
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 though 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 what 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 |
|
chorus |
|
She's been dreaming 'bout it 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 going to stay at home and watch my TV |
|
I don't build my world 'round no single man |
|
But I'm gettin' by, doin' what I can |
|
I am free to be, what I want to be |
|
'N all what I want 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 |
|
