Modern Woman

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
 Well 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, mmh-mmh
 ♪
 She looks sleek, 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, 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
 When you're an old fashioned man
 She understands the things you're doin'
 She's a modern woman, uh-huh
 ♪
 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 the 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 got the casual hip
 That don't mean zip to the modern woman
 
 Don't resent the modern woman
 She's a modern woman
 She's my dream woman
 She's a modern! Oh yeah!
 Yeah, yeah!
 She's a modern woman
