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 though 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 what 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
chorus
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
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, 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
