Mel Torm — Sophisticated Lady / I Didnt Know About You

Sophisticated Lady 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 found 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 really what you want? No, sophisticated lady, I know You miss the love you lost long ago And when nobody is nigh, you cry I Didn't Know About You I ran around, with my own little crowd The usual laughs, not often, but loud And in the world that I knew I didn't know about you Chasing after the ring, on the merry-go-round Just having my fun, where it could be found And yet what else could I do? I didn't know about you Darling, now I know I had the loneliest yesterday, every day In your arms, I find For once in my life, I'm living Had a good time, every time I went out Romance was a thing I kidded about How could I know about love? I didn't know about... When I hear a song in bloom Like a flower dying from the dew I think of the loneliness I once knew 'Cause I didn't know about you You-ooh-hoo You
