Oh, Lady Be Good
Yearning for Connection: A Tale of Love and Loneliness
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story that needs attention.
It's terribly sad but true,
Highlighting the genuine sadness of the story.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling dressed up with no social plans.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Consistently feeling down every evening.
I must win some handsome guy
Expressing the desire to attract a handsome companion.
Can't go on like this,
Feeling unable to continue with the current situation.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that improvement is possible with the right person.
With somebody just like you. So
Continuation of the desire for a suitable companion.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing a sweet and lovely lady, requesting goodness.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling greatly misunderstood and seeking understanding.
So lady, be good to me
Repeating the request for the lady to be good.
Oh, please have some pity
Pleading for compassion, expressing loneliness.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Describing isolation in a large city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Characterizing oneself as a lonesome babe in the wood.
So lady be good to me.
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good.
Oh, please have some pity
Repeating the plea for pity and expressing loneliness.
I'm all alone in this big city
Reiterating the description of being alone in a big city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Reiterating the characterization as a lonesome babe in the wood.
So lady be good to me.
Final plea for the lady to be good.
Oh lady be good to me.
Closing appeal for kindness from the lady.
