Duke Ellington
Sophisticated Lady
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Smoking, drinking
Never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining
Dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
[Verse 3]
No, sophisticated lady I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
[Piano Solo]
[Bridge]
Smoking, drinking
Never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining
Dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
[Verse 3]
No, sophisticated lady I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
