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
Shes a modern girl whos been though this movie before
Chorus:
She dont build her world round no single man
But shes 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, shes a modern girl
It looks like rain again, she takes a train again
Shes on her way again through London town
Where she keeps a tangerine, flicks through a magazine
Until its time to leave her dreams on the underground
She walks to the office like everyone else
An independent lady, takin care of herself
chorus
Shes been dreaming bout it all day long
As soon as she gets home, its him on the telephone
He asks her to dinner, she says Im not free
Tonight Im going to stay at home and watch my TV
I dont build my world round no single man
But Im 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, shes a modern girl
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na, shes a modern girl
