Oh, Lady Be Good
Yearning Melodies: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale Behind 'Oh, Lady Be Good'
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story, inviting attention.
It's terribly sad but true,
Acknowledging the genuine sorrow in the story.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling ready for something but having no opportunity.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Consistently feeling down and melancholic every evening.
I must win some handsome guy
Desiring a romantic connection with an attractive man.
Can't go on like this,
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that a positive change is possible with the right person.
With somebody just like you. So
Continuing the plea for someone like the listener to come forward.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing the listener as a sweet and lovely lady.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Pleading for kindness and goodness from the lady.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Expressing a feeling of being misunderstood.
So lady, be good to me
Reiterating the request for the lady to be good to the speaker.
Oh, please have some pity
Asking for compassion in the difficult situation.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Emphasizing loneliness in a large, unfamiliar city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Describing oneself as a lonesome person in need of care.
So lady be good to me.
Repeating the plea for the lady to be good.
Oh, please have some pity
Reiterating the request for pity and understanding.
I'm all alone in this big city
Repeating the sense of isolation in the vast city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Stressing the loneliness as a babe in the wood, seeking kindness.
So lady be good to me.
Once again, urging the lady to be good to the speaker.
Oh lady be good to me.
Final plea for the lady to show kindness and goodness.
