Sophistocated Lady - Lyrics by Ellington Duke


Lyrics
They say into, our early life romance came,and in this heart of your burned a flame,A flame that flickered one day and dies away.
Then, with disillusions 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 someman in a restaurant,
Is that all you really want?
No,
Sophisticated lady, I know, you miss the loveyou lost long ago,and when nobody is nigh you cry.
They say into, our early life romance came,and in this heart of your burned a flame,A flame that flickered one day and dies away.

The years have changed you, somehow;I see you now . . . . .
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow,nonchalant,
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with someman in a restaurant,
Is that all you really want?
No,
Sophisticated lady, I know, you miss the loveyou lost long ago,and when nobody is nigh you cry.
