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 find 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 gay

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

Smoking drinking never thinking of tomorrow nonchalant

Diamonds shining dancing dining with some gay

In a restaurant

Is that all you really want

No sophisticated lady

I know you lost the love you have long ago

And when nobody is nigh you cry
