[Verse 1: Jason Scheff, with bandmates]
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

[Verse 2: Jason Scheff, with bandmates, Robert Lamm]
Smoking, drinking
Never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining
Dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?

[Chorus: Jason Scheff]
No, sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry
Is that all you really want?

[Instrumental]
[Chors: Jason Scheff]
No, sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry
You cry, you cry

[Outro]
Sophisticated lady, you cry
Sophisticated lady, you cry
Sophisticated lady, you cry
Sophisticated lady
