Lyrics of Modern Woman by Billy Joel
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
chorus
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
Writer(s): Billy Joel
