: I'm now listening to a song "Sadder-But-Wiser Girl" from the famous musical "Music Man".
: Professor Hill sings to his friend that he prefers sadder-but-wiser woman to innocent, eager, pure, baby-doll girls, because the latter type of girls will merely take away his independence.
: The lyrics are:
: I spark, I fizz for the lady lady who knows what time it is,
: I cheer, I rave for the virtue I'm too late to save,
: The sadder-but-wiser girl for me.
: Would someone help me with the meaning of the phrase
: "a lady who knows what time it is", please?
A lady who has 'been around the block', who knows the way of the world, who knows what's what, who is experienced.
