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

This is you

Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant

Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant

Is that really what you want?

No no, sophisticated lady I know

You miss the love you lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh

You cry

It's true into your early life romance came

And in this heart of yours burns a flame

A flame that flickered one day

And died away

Poor sophisticated lady
