| 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) |
