Текст песни — 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
Cause 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 and 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
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
Whe you'-re an old fashioned man
She understands the things you'-re doin'-
She'-s a modern woman
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 changedСлова песни — Modern Woman — Billy Joel
