Della Reese feat. Duke Ellington and His Orchestra sophisticated lady

Select language to translate this lyric

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 that love you lost long ago.
And when nobody is nigh, you cry,
You cry, you cry.
