Sophisticated Lady Lyrics - Billie Holiday

They say into your early life romance came 

And then 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
