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

'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)
