BOZ SCAGGS
"Sophisticated Lady"
(Ellington / Parish / Mills)

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 and drinkin'
Never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant...
Diamonds shining dancing dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want to know

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

Smoking and drinkin'
Never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant...
Diamonds shining dancing dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want to know

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