Modern Girl

He wakes and says hello, turns on the breakfast showShe fixes coffee while he takes a showerHey that was great, he said, I wish we could stay in bedBut I got to be at work in less than an hourShe manages a smile as he walks out the doorShe's a modern girl who's been though this movie beforeChorus:She don't build her world 'round no single manBut she's gettin' by, doin' what she canShe is free to be, what she wants to be'N all what she wants to be, is a modern girlNa na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, she's a modern girlIt looks like rain again, she takes a train againShe's on her way again through London townWhere she keeps a tangerine, flicks through a magazineUntil it's time to leave her dreams on the undergroundShe walks to the office like everyone elseAn independent lady, takin' care of herselfchorusShe's been dreaming 'bout it all day longAs soon as she gets home, it's him on the telephoneHe asks her to dinner, she says I'm not freeTonight I'm going to stay at home and watch my TVI don't build my world 'round no single manBut I'm gettin' by, doin' what I canI am free to be, what I want to be'N all what I want to be, is a modern girlNa na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, she's a modern girlNa na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, she's a modern girl(repeats out)
