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.

No. Sophisticated lady I know,

You miss that love you lost long ago.

And when nobody is nigh, you cry,

You cry, you cry.
