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
