Sophisticated Lady

they say into your early life romance came

and in this heart of yours burnt 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 had long ago

and when nobody is nigh

you cry
