Lady Be Good
Captivating Tale of Love's Yearning
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a tale of sorrow and hardship.
It's terribly sad but true,
Highlighting the genuine sadness in the story.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling well-dressed but lacking a destination or purpose.
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,
Unable to continue in the current state, suggesting a need for change.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that personal growth and happiness are possible with the right person.
With somebody just like you. So
Seeking someone similar to the listener.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing a woman as sweet and lovely, appealing for goodness.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Pleading for the woman to be good to the speaker.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Expressing a sense of being misunderstood.
So lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for the woman to be good to the speaker.
Oh, please have some pity
Requesting compassion from the woman.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Conveying a feeling 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 care.
So lady be good to me.
Repeating the plea for the woman 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 solitude in the big city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Repeating the description of being a lonesome person in need of care.
So lady be good to me.
Restating the plea for the woman to be good to the speaker.
Oh lady be good to me.
A final appeal for kindness and goodness from the lady.
