Slightly Controversial

Her eyes hide her story
Her face never gives it away
Her life is what she needs it to be
To keep 'em guessin' on every other day
It's a permanent arrangement and the mystery remains
And nobody will ever change (c'mon)

Slightly controversial
That's the way she wants to live her life
Slightly controversial
She's a modern girl, won't compromise

Her world is always changin'
There's too much noise runnin' every day
She likes to claim that her spirit is free
By when she falls in love, she takes it all the way (yeah)

So don't take her so lightly
So many pages turned
While lovers lived and learned

Slightly controversial
That's the way she wants to live her life
(Come on, come on, come on) yeah
Slightly controversial
She's a modern girl, no compromise

No one can know her mind
Strong will and nerve combined
When the darkness starts to fall
She's a challenge for us all
When her back's against the wall

It's a permanent arrangement, and the mystery remains
That nobody will ever change, no

Slightly controversial
That's the way she wants to live her life (say it again)
Slightly controversial
She's a modern girl, won't compromise
(Modern girl won't compromise)

Slightly controversial
That's the way she wants to live her life
Slightly controversial
That's the way she wants to live her life
Slightly controversial
She's a modern girl, won't compromise, no

Slightly controversial
That's the way she wants to live her life, oh
Slightly controversial
That's the way she wants to live her life
Slightly controversial
She's a modern girl, won't compromise, no

That's the way she wants to live her life, mm-mm
