Ray Stevens - Sophisticated Lady Lyrics

Ray Stevens Lyrics

"Sophisticated Lady"
(originally by Duke Ellington)

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

Whoa, sophisticated lady I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry

You cry
You cry
