Sophisticated Lady
Sasha Dobson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just because you're caught in your social maze
I think it's 'bout time that you realize
Your money and your power's got you mesmerized
Pretty lady, get back
Pretty lady, yea
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
Educated lady with your college degree
Amazes me why you just can't see
Learned everything from your books on the shelf
But no one ever taught you how to think for yourself
Pretty lady, get back
Pretty lady, yea, sweet thing
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
You're anybody's baby when your mama's gone
Sophisticated lady take a lesson from me
I can help you be what you want to be
Together we'll see many brighter days
If it takes forever, gonna change your ways
Pretty lady, get back
Pretty lady, yea, sweet thing
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
You're anybody's baby when your mama's gone
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
You're anybody's baby when your mama's gone
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
You're anybody's baby when your mama's gone
The lyrics to Sasha Dobson's "Sophisticated Lady" tell the story of a woman who is striving to be seen as high class and sophisticated, but is ultimately trapped by her own social status and material possessions. The singer, presumably a man, sees through her façade and tries to get her to see that she is more than just her money and power. The repeated line "put your blue jeans on" is a symbol for letting go of the need to appear polished and perfect, and instead just be yourself.
The lyrics are written in a conversational tone, with the singer almost pleading for the woman to change her ways. The use of "pretty lady" and "sweet thing" comes across as both endearing and patronizing, highlighting the dynamic between the two characters. The message within the song is one of empowerment and individuality, encouraging the sophisticated lady to break free from the constraints of her social status and expectations.
Line by Line Meaning
Sophisticated lady tryin' to change my ways
A refined and cultured lady is attempting to transform me
Just because you're caught in your social maze
Simply because you are ensnared in your complacent social circles
I think it's 'bout time that you realize
It is high time for you to acknowledge
Your money and your power's got you mesmerized
Your wealth and authority have spellbound you
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on
Refined lady, casually attire yourself in simple clothing
You're anybody's baby when your mama's gone
You become available to anyone when your protector is absent
Educated lady with your college degree
Lady with educational accomplishments, holding a university degree
Amazes me why you just can't see
It is astonishing to me why you cannot perceive
Learned everything from your books on the shelf
You have acquired all knowledge from books on the shelf
But no one ever taught you how to think for yourself
But no one has educated you to think independently
Sophisticated lady take a lesson from me
Intelligent lady, learn from my experience
I can help you be what you want to be
I can assist you to realize your aspirations
Together we'll see many brighter days
If we collaborate, we will witness many brighter days
If it takes forever, gonna change your ways
Even if it takes eternity, you must change your attitude
