Lady Be Good
A Tale of Yearning: Lady Be Good Unveiled
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story for the listener to hear.
It's terribly sad but true,
Highlighting the sorrowful reality of the story.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling prepared and dressed up, but lacking social plans or a destination.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Every evening is filled with deep sadness.
I must win some handsome guy
Expressing a desire to attract an attractive man.
Can't go on like this,
Feeling the need for a positive change in life.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that personal growth and transformation are possible with the right person.
With somebody just like you. So
Expressing the hope for a connection with someone similar to the person addressed.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing the person as a sweet and lovely lady, requesting kindness.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good to the speaker.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling deeply misunderstood by others.
So lady, be good to me
Continuing the plea for the lady to be good despite the speaker's misunderstood nature.
Oh, please have some pity
Requesting compassion and understanding from the lady.
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 lonesome figure in need of care.
So lady be good to me.
Repeating the plea for the lady to be good to the speaker.
Oh, please have some pity
Reiterating the request for pity and understanding.
I'm all alone in this big city
Emphasizing the isolation in a large city and the need for companionship.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Repeating the description of being a lonesome figure in the woods.
So lady be good to me.
Persisting in the plea for the lady to be good.
Oh lady be good to me.
Concluding with a final request for the lady to be good to the speaker.
