Sophisticated Lady Lyrics

Ray Stevens 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 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
