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
