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 the love you lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh, you cry
