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
Theyre only tellin stories and theyre
Getting in the way
Right now
Cause you cant see the future
Cant change the past
Come see a modern woman
Might have a vision
That wont 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
Theyre only tellin stories and theyre
Gettin in the way
Right now
Cause you cant see the future
And cant change the past
Come see a
Modern Woman
Could be forgiven
Could be to blame
Could leave you wonderin
If youll
Ever be the same
Round up the old perceptions
Lay them on down
Theyre only tellin stories and theyre
Getting in the way right now
Cause you cant see the future
Cant change the past
Come see a modern woman
Come see a modern woman
Come see a modern woman
