Sophisticated lady, sophisticated lady

She's a different lady with a different style

She stands tall and steady like the Eiffel Tower

She is hip to politics but loves her jazz

She's got lots of rhythm she's got lots of class

Everybody knows how she got her name, yeah

Oh, ha, she wears knee length dresses with her high heel steppers

She's not no back stabber but she's sure a pleaser

She talks quiet and gentle, she acts very cool

She sticks close to her lover, she obey God's rules, woh

(Sophisticated lady) Sophisticated lady, yeah

(Sophisticated lady) Oh

(Sophisticated lady) That's her name, that's her name

(Sophisticated lady) Woh, woh

Everybody knows how she got her name

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah----

Woh--, oh, oh, oh, oh

She's the kind of person that you'd like to meet

'Cause she's always smiling and she's always neat

She can start a fire in the coldest man

She's a hip slick sister known throughout the land, oh

(Sophisticated lady) That's her name

Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) yeah

Oh, well, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, hoo, that's her name

Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) lady, lady

Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady) oh

Sophisticated lady, (sophisticated lady) ah

Sophisticated lady (sophisticated lady)

Ooh, ooh (sophisticated lady)
