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
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
You've 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 2]
No, sophisticated lady
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
[Outro]
Sophisticated lady, I know
That when nobody is nigh you cry
