Lady Be Good
Yearning Melody: Unveiling the Poignant Tale in Craig Klein's 'Lady Be Good'
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story, inviting attention.
It's terribly sad but true,
Stating the sadness is genuine and unfortunate.
All dressed up, no place to go
Being dressed up without a destination, a sense of aimlessness.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Feeling consistently melancholic each evening.
I must win some handsome guy
Desire to attract an attractive partner.
Can't go on like this,
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current situation.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that a positive change is possible with the right person.
With somebody just like you. So
Setting the stage for a plea or request to someone specific.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing someone as sweet and lovely, requesting goodness.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Repeating the plea for the person to be good to the speaker.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling deeply misunderstood by others.
So lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for kindness due to being misunderstood.
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all-alone in this big city
Expressing loneliness in a large, impersonal city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Describing oneself as a vulnerable person in need of care.
So lady be good to me.
Pleading once again for the person to be good to the speaker.
Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big city
-I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
-So lady be good to me.
-Oh lady be good to me.
Repeating the plea for the person to be good to the speaker.
