Billy Joel – Modern Woman Lyrics  Share

From Billy Joel's album: The Bridge

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
[ Modern Woman lyrics from

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 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 1986 what else could be new

You got to learn to relax
And face the facts of modern woman
And you^,re an old fashioned man
She understands the things you^,re doin^,
She^,s a modern woman
