Lyrics

Sophisticated lady Sophisticated lady Sophisticated lady Sophisticated lady Everybody knows how she got her name, yeah, yeah She's a different lady with a different style She stands tall and ready 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, yeah Oh, huh She wears knee-length dresses with her high-high 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 obeys God's rule (Whoa) Sophisticated lady (Sophisticated lady, yeah) Sophisticated lady (Oh) Sophisticated lady (That's her name, that's her name) Sophisticated lady (Whoa, whoa) Everybody knows how she got her name, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, whoa, oh Whoa, oh oh oh She's the kind of person that you'd like to meet â€~Cause she's always smilin' 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) Oh, well, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo Hoo, that's her name, yeah Sophisticated lady (Lady, lady) Sophisticated lady (Oh) Sophisticated lady (Ah, ah, ah) Sophisticated lady (Ooh, ooh) Sophisticated lady (Ooh) Sophisticated lady Sophisticated lady
