They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burnt 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 the love you had long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
