sophisticated lady

Singer:al jarreau

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 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
