Tekst piosenki
It was a modern love affaircompletely cool and casualthey hardly knew each other was therei mean Both of them had their own getting off to doand they had to dream about their own self when they were throughbut the modern girl was elated with what the revolution gave herand since she was liberated she could haveeverything that striked her fancyand she fancied quite a biti mean if it felt good she did itand she did it every chance she could getwith her main modern man and otherwiseand her taste wasn't limited to just modern guyssince another modern girl showed herthat modern girls know how to hold herand after she had her eyes openedall her old close friends started getting closerand new friends weren't that far awaybut the modern man he just wasn't so luckyhe being shook from his usual role as the heartbreakerhe was completely battered and bewilderedwhen he actually started in feeling something for herand he discovered a new emotionwhen they stopped ending up together as frequentlyand 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, looking, looking,like a soft Picassohe's there with his head in his handrepeating to himself an epigram"live by the scam, die by the scam."
