Sophisticated Lady Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Irving Mills - Duke Ellington First release by: Duke Ellington & His Orch. - 1933 Covered by multiple other artists
They say into your early life romance came And in this heart of yours burned a flame A flame that flickered one day and dies 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 that love you lost long ago And when nobody is nigh, you cry You cry, you cry
