Sophisticated Lady

Sophisticated Lady
They say into your early life romance came
and in this heart of yours burnt 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 had long ago
and when nobody is nigh
you cry
