Modern Woman

In the beginning

Long time ago

Never was a woman

Pure as driven snow

That was illusion

That was a lie

Woman was a human

Woman was a light

Round up the old perceptions

Lay them on down

They're only tellin' stories, and they're

Gettin' in the way right now

'Cause you can't see the future

You can't change the past

Come see a modern woman

Might have a vision

That won't let her rest

Might be a vision in a satin dress

Might make you coffee

Might make it rain

Might confuse a smaller mind just sittin' on a train

Round up the old perceptions

Lay them on down

They're only tellin' stories, and they're

Gettin' in the way right now

'Cause you can't see the future

We can't change the past

Come see a modern woman

Could be forgiven

Could be to blame

Could leave you wonderin'

If you'll ever be the same

Round up the old perceptions

Lay them on down

They're only tellin' stories, and they're

Gettin' in the way right now

'Cause you can't see the future

Can't change the past

Come see a modern woman

Come see a modern woman

Come see a modern woman
