Aisha - Contemporary Girl lyrics

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 Chorus: Contemporary Girl Living in this world In a modern society That gave you the right to be in control Don't turn your back on love God gave you a heart and soul 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 the guy 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 embarra**ed for the guy You can't look him in the eye all you can do is ask yourself why Contemporary girl in the corporate world You're kicking bu*t 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 just 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 You don't have to be sad I know that's not how you want to be So ladies, sing it with me Contemporary girl Living in this world
