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
 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 (But she's gettin' by, doin' what she can)
 I am free to be, what I want to be (She's free to be, what she wants to be)
 'N all I want to be, is a modern girl ('N all he 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, she's a modern girl
