Sophisticated Lady
Lyrics
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 and died
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
You're so 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 had so long ago
And when nobody is nigh I see you cry
