Sophisticated Lady

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

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?

Oh, no

Sophisticated lady

I know

You miss the love

You lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh

You cry

...

Sophisticated lady

You lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh

When nobody is nigh

Nobody is nigh

You cry
