Sarah Vaughan - Sophisticated Lady

Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant

Diamonds shining, dancing, dining

With some man in a restaurant

Is that all you really want?

No no, no no, sophisticated lady, I know

You miss the love you lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh, you cry

They say into your early life romance came

And in this heart of yours burned a flame

A flame that flickered one day and died away

And then, with disillusion deep in your eyes

You learned that fools in love soon grow wise

The years have changed you somehow

I see you now

Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant

Diamonds shining, dancing, dining

With some man in a restaurant

Is that all you really want?

No no, no no, sophisticated lady, I know

You miss the love you lost long ago

And when somebody is nigh, you cry, you cry, you cry
