Sometimes a lover
Sometimes a fool
Sometimes a winner
Who breaks the rules

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 will come 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
