Modern Woman — текст песни (Joel Billy)

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 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 style and she`s got her own money
So she`s not another honey you can quickly disarm
She`s got the eyes that make you realize
She won`t be hypnotized by your usual charm
You`ve got your plan of attack
That won`t attract the modern woman
Whe you`re an old fashioned man
She understands the things you`re doin`
She`s a modern woman
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 overcame 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 got to learn to relax
And face the facts of modern woman
And you`re an old fashioned man
She understands the things you`re doin`
She`s a modern woman
