Modern Woman lyrics

You see her sitting
with her coffee
and her paper

With her high top
sneakers of
Italian design

With a long cool stare
she aggravates
the tension

Makes up her face
while she makes up
her mind

Now you're in trouble
maybe she's
an intellectual

What if she figures out
you're not very smart

Or maybe she's the quiet
type who's into heavy
metal boy you've got to
get it settled 'cause she's
breaking your heart

Don't try to put on an act
you can't do that
to a modern woman

And you're an
old fashioned man
she understands
the things you're doin'

She's a modern woman

She looks sleek and she
seems so professional
she's got a lot
of confidence
it's easy to see

You want to make a move
but you feel so inferior
'cause under that exterior
is someone who's free

She's got a style
she's got her own money
so she's not another
honey you can
quickly disarm

She's got the eyes
that make you realise
she won't be hypnotized
by your usual charm

You've got your plan
of attack that won't
attract the
modern woman

When you're an
old fashioned man
she understands
the things you're doin'

She's a modern woman
ah ha

Time goes by
and you're sharing
an apartment

She says she loves you
but she doesn't
know why

In the morning
she leaves you
with your coffee
and your paper

It's a strange situation
for an old fashioned guy

But times have changed
things are not the same
baby

You over came
such a bad attitude

Rock and roll just used
to be for kicks
and nowadays it's politics
and after 1986
what else could be new

You've got to
learn to relax
and face the facts
of a modern woman

And you're an
old fashioned man
she understands
the things you're doin'

She's a modern woman

She's a modern woman

You've got the
casual hip
that don't really exist
to a modern woman

She's a modern woman

She's a modern woman

She's a modern
