written and recorded sometime around 1985, when I played briefly with a band called the Tuxedos, there is also a hilarious video from cable access TV on VHS which I need to digitize and post.
lyrics
She says she's in love with you
But I know what she's up to
She's gonna break your heart
And that's just the start
That's what I say
(She's just a teaser)
Sophisticated Mama
She says she's in love with you
But I know what she's up to
She'll break your heart and walk out the door
Then she'll be coming back for more

The verse lyric was written by a member of the Tuxedos, but I can't remember his name - Bob, I think? I wrote the music and chorus lyric, because I like the word "sophisticated"
