Karaoké Modern Woman Billy Joel

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

Now you're in trouble maybe she's an intellectual

What if she figures out you're not very smart

Or maybe she's the quiet type who's into heavy metal

Boy you got to get it settled 'cos she's breaking your heart

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

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

'Cos under that exterior is someone who's free

She's got style and 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

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 hu

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

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 nineteen eighty six what else could be new

You've got to learn to relax and face the facts of modern woman

When you're an old fashioned man

She understands the things you're doin'

She's a modern woman

She's a modern woman

You got the casual hip that don't mean zip to a modern woman

She's a modern woman she's a modern woman

She's a modern hey modern hey

She's a modern woman
