Written by Chuck Jackson, Marvin Yancy and Natalie Cole



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)



Repeat (Sophisticated lady)
