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 awayThen, with disillusion
Deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love
Soon grow wise
The years have changed you
Somehow
I see you nowSmoking, drinking
Never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?[Chorus]
No, sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cryIs that all
You really want?[Chorus]
