It was a modern love affair
Completely cool and casual
They hardly knew each other was there

Both of them had their own getting off to do
They had to dream about their own self
When they were through

But the modern girl was elated
With what the revolution gave her
Since she was liberated

She could have anything that striked her fancy
And she fancied quite a bit if it felt good she did it
And she did it every chance she could get

With her main modern man and otherwise
And her taste wasn't limited to just modern guys
Since another modern girl showed her
That modern girls know how to hold her

And after she had her eyes opened
All her old close friends started getting closer
And new friends weren't that far away
But the modern man wasn't so lucky being shook
From his usual role as the heart breaker

He was completely battered and bewildered
When he actually started in feeling something for her
And he discovered a new emotion
When they stopped ending up together as frequently

And when he finally confronted her with the question
Had she been bedding down with others
In the periphery without him
And she replied "Hell yes, ain't it funny"
So view the modern man looking like a soft Picasso

He's there with his head in his hand
Repeating to himself an epigram
Live by the scam, die by the scam
