Black & Tan Fantasy

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 lost long ago

And when nobody is nigh you cry
