Lyrics for Song: Modern Girl
Lyrics for Album: The Very Best of Meatloaf (2 discs)
Once a beautiful Miss America,
married Mr. Right.
Had a little baby girl,
born on a stormy night.
But that was once upon a time,
now it's a brand new world.
Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.
Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.
Somewhere just between the past
and somethin' dawnin' new.
There's a break in the chain,
a skip in the clock,
girl that's where I'm gonna find you.
Between the boy I was before
and what I'm gonna be.
There's a clash on the border,
a flame in the sky,
girl that's where you gonna find me.
Can't ya hear the planet groanin',
like a broken down machine.
Rusted with the guilty tears
of fallen kings and queens.
But you and I stand innocent,
baby it's a brand new world.
Gimme the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.
Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,
gimmee the future with a modern girl.)
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway,
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)
laughin' while the road maps blow away,
(gimmee the future with a modern girl)
we're the son and the daughter and we ain't afraid,
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future)
won't be makin' the mistakes our fathers made.
(Gimmee the future with a modern girl)
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,)
Oh gimmee the future with a modern girl.
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,)
Oh gimmee the future with a modern girl.
(Musical Part)

Oh gimmee the future with a modern girl.
(Gimmee the future, gimmee the future,)
Oh won't you gimmee the future with a modern girl.

Oh won't yougimmee the future with a modern girl.
We're the son and the daughter on a new freeway,
