Sometimes a lover
Sometimes a fool
Sometimes a winner
Who breaks [bad word] 
Sometimes he cries
Sometimes he grooves
Sometimes he feels
There’s nothing to lose

When his heart is left out in the rain
He knows the sun [bad word] back again
Strong and tall, like a Redwood tree
He’s a Modern Man to me
He’s a Modern Man to me

Sometimes a sinner
Sometimes a child
Sometimes a student
Just wondering why

When his king has gone, and left no trace
He knows its time to take his place
Secure and sure of what could be
He’s a Modern Man to me
He’s a Modern Man to me

Sometimes he sings
Sometimes he might
Sometimes he knows
To swallow his pride
