Contemporary Girl Lyrics - Aisha - Aisha

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 embarrassed 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 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 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
