Billie Holiday - 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
