Sophisticated Lady

Duke Ellington / Irving Mills / Mitchell Parish

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

Is that all you really want?

No, Sophisticated Lady, I know
You miss the heart you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
