Linda Ronstadt - Sophisticated Lady lyrics

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

No

Sophisticated lady I know

You miss the love you had long ago

And when nobody is nigh

You cry

No

Sophisticated lady I know

You miss the love you had long ago

And when nobody is nigh

You cry

You cry

You cry
