Sophisticated Lady / I Didn’t Know About You
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 found 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 really what you want?
No, sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry
I Didn't Know About You
I ran around, with my own little crowd
The usual laughs, not often, but loud
And in the world that I knew
I didn't know about you
Chasing after the ring, on the merry-go-round
Just having my fun, where it could be found
And yet what else could I do?
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday, every day
In your arms, I find
For once in my life, I'm living
Had a good time, every time I went out
Romance was a thing I kidded about
How could I know about love?
I didn't know about...
When I hear a song in bloom
Like a flower dying from the dew
I think of the loneliness I once knew
'Cause I didn't know about you
You-ooh-hoo
You
