Sophisticated Lady

(Music By Duke Ellington, words By Irving Mills And 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.
