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 to smile as he walks out the door
She's a modern girl who's been through this movie before
She don't build her world without no single man
But she's getting by doing what she can
She is free to be what she wants to be
All she wants to be is a modern girl
Na-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 eats a tangerine or flicks through a magazine
Until it's time to leave her dreams on the underground
She walks to...
To the office like everyone else
An independent lady taking care of herself
She don't build her world without no single man
But she's getting by doing what she can
She is free to be what she wants to be
All she wants to be is a modern girl
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Now she's a fallen girl
She's been dreaming about him all day long
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 get my doing what I can
She is free to be
What I want to be
All I want to be
Is a modern girl
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
She's a modern girl
Nah, nah, nah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Nah, nah, nah
She's a modern girl
Nah, nah, nah
Dah, dah, dah
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
She is a modern girl
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
She is a...
Modern Girl
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
She is a modern girl
