Lyric Modern Girl

Modern Girl
Sheena Easton
(D. Bugatti/F. Musker)

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

Chorus:

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 the train again
She s on her way again through London town
Where she eats 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

(Chorus)

(Instrumental break)

She s been dreaming bout him 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 gonna stay at home and watch my TV"

I don t build my world round no single man
But I m (she s) gettin by, doin what I (she) can
I (she is) am free to be, what I (she) want(s) to be
N all I (she) want(s) 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

(Repeat and fade)
