Sophisticated Lady Songtext
von The Boswell Sisters
Sophisticated Lady Songtext
They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day then 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 that love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry
[Repeat last three verses]
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day then 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 that love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry
[Repeat last three verses]
