Generate meaning
1
They say into your early life romance came
2
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
3
A flame that flickered one day and died away
4
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
5
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
6
The years have changed you, somehow
7
I see you now
8
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
9
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant
10
Is that all you really want?
11
No, sophisticated lady,
12
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
13
And when nobody is nigh you cry
14
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
15
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant
16
Is that all you really want?
17
No, sophisticated lady,
18
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
19
And when nobody is nigh you cry
20
Sophisticated lady
21
You cry
