[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
