(originally by Sheena Easton)
He wakes and says "Hello," turns on the breakfast show
She fixes coffee while he takes a shower
"Hey, that was great," he said, "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
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
And all what she wants to be is a modern girl
It looks like rain again, she takes a train again
She's on her way again through London town
Where she peels 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
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
And 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
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
She's a modern girl
She's been dreaming 'bout it all day long
As soon as she's 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
I am gettin' by doin' what I can
I am free to be what I want to be
And 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
