The Mooche 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 lost long ago

 

 

And when nobody is nigh you cry
