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
Getting 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
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
You 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
Getting 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
