Intro:

Contemporary Girl
Living in this
world

Verse 1:

The world
today
Has come a long way
From radio to
TV
From fire to electricity
Airplanes and
Jets
Computers and the Internet
What an
entry
Into the 21st century
This is the
world
Of the contemporary girl
But
modernization
Isn't for every
situation
Like in love
What are we thinking
of
Some women take control
Playing the
dominant role
But he's a person
God gave
him a mind
So stop trying
To make it up for
him all the
time

Chorus:

Contemporary
Girl
Living in this world
Modern
society
Gave you the right to be in
control
But don't turn your back on
love
God gave you a heart and
soul

Verse 2:

Living in this
world
Can be tough when you're a girl
But
you think you've got it under control
And no
man will take a hold
Of you or your
heart
And that's the way
You wanted it from
the start
You run your life
And that of your
man
Everything is going according to
plan
But on your list of things to
remember
Love isn't on your daily agenda
No
matter what your friends say
You shouldn't
treat him that way
Do unto others
As you'd
have done to you
You wouldn't like it
If he
did the same to you

Repeat
chorus

Rap:

You put the con in
contemporary
With the life that you're
selling
And how long you've been
trippin'
There's no telling
If you wanna be
a feminist
Do it on your own
And you'll be
like that movie
Home alone
Why ya wanna
trip
Trying to wear the pants in the
relationship
I'd rather wear the skirt
You
can have a family and still work
You treat him
like the gum under your shoe
And then you try
to get rid of him like the flu
When you're
mad
You know your tempers never far
You
make him break down like your car
He shakes in
the dust
Like you're San Andreas
Then you
bring out his faults
Like diamonds from a
vault
Which ironically you want him to
buy
And yet still you try
To give him more
orders than a waiter
And it divides you like
the equator
You're more domineering
Than
power steering
But you must realize
Both of
you can't drive
How can he not hear what you
say
When your nickname is forte
You ever
been in a checkout line
Trying to save
time
And stand behind
A couple that's out
of their minds
She picks a fight
And she
knows she's not right
And he apologizes for
something he didn't do
And you stare at the
ceiling
Cause you don't have a clue
So
embarrassed for the guy
You can't look him in
the eye
Contemporary girl in the corporate
world
You're kicking butt and taking
names
And to you it's all a game
Designer
clothed
Hard nosed
Battle-ax with a
fax
The business brunch
The power
lunch
Net and gross
Who makes the
most
Spreadsheets and requisitions
Mergers
and acquisitions
Real time and the bottom
line
Corporate takeovers and leveraged
buyouts
A private jet for you to fly
out
Just having your fun
Ms. hard as
nails
But cry when you break one
You only
care about how much you earn
But when will you
ever learn
In this world
You can't be the
man
When you're a girl
What an
extraordinary mask
But I've got one question
to ask
You say you know what's best
But how
are you gonna rule the world with
P.M.S.

Bridge:

Contemporary
Now
you're so very sure
With success in your
life
You think you don't need him anymore
I
guess love isn't a fad
Being an old fashioned
girl
Isn't so bad
I know that's not how you
want to be
So ladies, sing it with
me

Contemporary girl
Living in this
world
