ROSEMARY CLOONEY
"Sophisticated Lady"
(Duke Ellington / Irving Mills / Mitchell Parish)

They say into your early life romance came
And this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away

Then, with disilution 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
