Sophisticated Lady

They say Into your early life romance came And then 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 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 Sophisticated lady You cry --- Sophisticated Lady - Billie Holiday
