Tony Bennett - Bennett Sings Ellington: Hot & Cool

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?
Oh, 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?
Oh, no

Sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh
When nobody is nigh
Nobody is nigh, you cry
