Modern Woman

In the beginning
 Long time ago
 Never was a woman
 Pure as driven snow
 That was illusion
 That was a lie
 Woman was a human
 Woman was a light
 Round up the old perceptions
 Lay them on down
 They're only tellin' stories and they're
 Getting in the way
 Right now
 Cause you can't see the future
 Can't change the past
 Come see a modern woman
 Might have a vision
 That won't let her rest
 Might be a vision in a satin dress
 Might make you coffee
 Might make it rain
 Might confuse a smaller mind just
 Sittin' on a train
 Round up the old perceptions
 Lay them on down
 They're only tellin stories and they're
 Gettin' in the way
 Right now
 Cause you can't see the future
 And can't change the past
 Come see a
 Modern Woman
 Could be forgiven
 Could be to blame
 Could leave you wonderin'
 If you'll
 Ever be the same
 Round up the old perceptions
 Lay them on down
 They're only tellin' stories and they're
 Getting in the way right now
 Cause you can't see the future
 Can't change the past
 Come see a modern woman
 Come see a modern woman
 Come see a modern woman
