Sophisticated lady lyrics

They say into your early life romance came

And then this heart of yours burned a flame

A flame that flickered one day and died away

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, sophisticated lady

I know, you miss the love you lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh you cry

Smoking, drinking, never thinking

Of tomorrow, nonchalant

Diamonds shining, dancing, dining

With some man in a restaurant

Is that all you really want?

No, sophisticated lady

I know, you miss the love you lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh you cry

Sophisticated lady you cry
