Lyrics
Cultivated Lady
She?s a cultivated lady and have you seen her lately
She was born to wear those diamonds and furs
She?s most sophisticated knows her solid gold from plated
But it?s not about the money to her
It?s about the life it?s about the soul
Taking what?s out there and taking control
A life that?s full and life ain?t free
Oh cultivated lady How you captivate me
Oh cultivated lady won?t you cultivate me?
She?s a cultivated woman and let me tell you she?s not slumming
When she keeps on coming round my store
It?s a boutique out in Brooklyn and she rides in from Manhattan
Is she shopping or is it something more?
Is it just a dream? Is there something there?
Is she at the end of some sad affair?
I?ve read some books and I know my wine
Oh cultivated lady could you cultivate my kind?
Oh cultivated lady won?t you be mine?
Your man is gone
You?ve got to move on
I could show you my plans
I really dig Chopin
It?s about the life it?s about the soul
Taking what?s out there and taking control
A life that?s full and life ain?t free
Oh cultivated lady How you captivate me
Oh cultivated lady won?t you cultivate me?
