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
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
And 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
