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
Gettin' 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
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'rе only tellin' stories and they'rе
Gettin' in the way right now
'Cause you can't see the future
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
Gettin' 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
