Lady Be Good
Yearning for Affection: A Tale of Loneliness in 'Lady Be Good' by Frank Vignola
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a willingness to share a sad story.
It's terribly sad but true,
Stating that the sad story is not fictional but a true experience.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling dressed up or prepared but having nowhere to go, suggesting a sense of aimlessness.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Expressing a recurring feeling of sadness every evening.
I must win some handsome guy
Expressing a desire to attract a charming and attractive person.
Can't go on like this,
Feeling unable to continue in the current state, hinting at a need for positive change.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that with the right person, personal potential can be fully realized.
With somebody just like you. So
Continuing the expression of a desire for companionship.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing a sweet and lovely lady, appealing for kindness.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Repeating the plea for the lady to be good or kind.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling deeply misunderstood and seeking understanding.
So lady, be good to me
Reiterating the request for the lady to be good, emphasizing the need for kindness.
Oh, please have some pity
Pleading for compassion and understanding from the lady.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Expressing a sense of loneliness in a large city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Describing oneself as a lonesome individual in need of support.
So lady be good to me.
Repeating the request for the lady to be good, underscoring the emotional plea.
Oh, please have some pity
Reiterating the plea for pity and expressing solitude in the urban environment.
I'm all alone in this big city
Emphasizing the sense of isolation and reiterating the need for compassion.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Repeating the description of being a lonesome individual in search of kindness.
So lady be good to me.
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good, emphasizing the emotional vulnerability.
Oh lady be good to me.
Final plea for the lady to be good, reinforcing the desire for kindness and support.
