Modern Girl

philip lacey 1956 (United Kingdom)



She's independent always speaks her mind
follows fashion when she feels inclined
her main obsession is her profession

she's got the confidence when dealing with her life
a sensitive mother an ever-loving wife
she likes the balance of home life and career

she's just a modern girl
lives in a Modern World
leads a modern life
she's just a modern girl
lives in a Modern World
she's just a modern wife

she's determined strong and forthright too
but with compassion, her kindness shines on through
she's a mother a lover and a friend

she's just a modern girl
lives in a Modern World
leads a modern life
she's just a modern girl
lives in a Modern World
she's just a modern wife

she's my lover she's my best friend

she's just a modern girl
lives in a Modern World
leads a modern life
she's just a modern girl
lives in a Modern World
she's just a modern wife
