Sophisticated Lady

Sophisticated Lady - Archie Shepp

Written by：Duke Ellington

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

Now 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

Dancing dining diamonds shining 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 night you cry

Smoking drinking never thinking of tomorrow nonchalant

Dancing dining diamonds shining 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 night you start cry
