Billie Holiday Lyrics for Song: Sophisticated Lady
 Lyrics for Album: Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]
 
 
 
 11357>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
 
 11357>
