[Verse 1]
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

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant, diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?

[Post-Chorus]
Sophisticated lady
I know you miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry, mm

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant, diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
[Post-Chorus]
No, sophisticated lady
I know you miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry
