Nancy LaMott

Sophisticated Lady

Nancy LaMott


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?

Chorus:
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?

(Chorus)
