Lady Be Good
Yearning for Love: Lady Be Good's Tale of Loneliness
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story, inviting attention.
It's terribly sad but true,
Acknowledging the sorrow as a genuine reality.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling prepared or dressed up, but lacking purpose or destination.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Consistently experiencing deep sadness each evening.
I must win some handsome guy
Desiring a romantic partner to bring joy and fulfillment.
Can't go on like this,
Expressing the need for change or improvement in the current state of loneliness.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that with the right person, personal growth and happiness are possible.
With somebody just like you. So
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing a sweet and lovely lady, asking for kindness.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good and treat the speaker well.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling deeply misunderstood and seeking understanding.
So lady, be good to me
Continuing to request kindness from the lady.
Oh, please have some pity
Appealing for compassion and empathy.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Expressing a sense of isolation in a large, unfamiliar 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.
Reiterating the request for the lady to be good and show kindness.
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.
Concluding with a final plea for the lady to be good.
