Julie London - Sophisticated Lady Lyrics

Julie London Lyrics

"Sophisticated Lady"

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

Sophisticated Lady

Blame It On My Youth

Make It Another Old-Fashioned, Please

You're Blasé

Bewitched

Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most

Remind Me

When She Makes Music

When The World Was Young

If I Should Lose You

Where Am I To Go?

Absent Minded Me
