Soft Picasso

Lyrics

It was a modern love affair Completely cool and casual They hardly knew each other was there I mean, both of 'em had their own gettin' off to do They had to dream about their own selves When they were through But the modern girl was elated With what the revolution gave her And since she was liberated Well, she could have anything that she fancied And she fancied quite a bit I mean, if it felt good, she did it And she did it every chance she could get With her main modern man and otherwise And her taste wasn't limited to just modern guys Since another modern girl showed her That modern girls know how to hold her And after she had her eyes opened Well, all her old close friends started getting closer And new friends weren't that far, far away But the modern man, he just wasn't so lucky Him being shook from his usual role as the heartbreaker He was completely battered and bewildered When he actually started in feelin' something for her And he discovered a new emotion When they stopped ending up together as frequently And when he finally confronted her with the question Had she been beddin' down with others in the periphery Without him? And she replied, hell yes, ain't it funny? So view the modern man He's lookin', lookin,' lookin' like a soft, soft Picasso There with his head in his hand Repeating to himself an epigram Live by the scam, die by the scam
