Lady Be Good
Melancholic Melody: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale in Ross Nickerson's 'Lady Be Good'
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Introducing a sad story
It's terribly sad but true,
Confirming the sadness as truth
All dressed up, no place to go
Ready but lacking opportunities
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Consistently feeling melancholic each night
I must win some handsome guy
Desire to attract a desirable man
Can't go on like this,
Unable to continue the current state
I could blossom out I know,
Belief in potential personal growth with the right person
With somebody just like you. So
Expressing the need for someone similar
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Pleading for kindness from a woman
Oh, lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for compassion
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling deeply misunderstood
So lady, be good to me
Re-emphasizing the request for kindness
Oh, please have some pity
Asking for empathy
I'm all-alone in this big city
Expressing loneliness in a vast place
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Feeling out of place and alone
So lady be good to me.
Repeating the plea for kindness
Oh, please have some pity
Reiteration of a plea for understanding
I'm all alone in this big city
Expressing solitude in the city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Re-emphasizing loneliness
So lady be good to me.
Requesting kindness again
Oh lady be good to me.
Final plea for compassion
