Lady Be Good
Yearning for Love: A Melodic Tale of Loneliness
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a tale of sorrow.
It's terribly sad but true,
Describing a sad and true situation.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling well-dressed but without a destination.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Every evening is filled with a deep sense of sadness.
I must win some handsome guy
Expressing a desire to attract a charming partner.
Can't go on like this,
Cannot continue the current situation.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that with the right person, personal potential can be realized.
With somebody just like you. So
Expressing a wish for someone like the listener.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Appealing to a sweet and lovely lady to be good.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Repeating the plea for the lady to be good.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling deeply misunderstood.
So lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good due to being misunderstood.
Oh, please have some pity
Requesting compassion or understanding.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Expressing a sense 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 lady to be good due to loneliness.
Oh, please have some pity
Requesting pity again due to being alone in a big city.
I'm all alone in this big city
Reiterating the sense 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 (repeated).
So lady be good to me.
Repeating the plea for the lady to be good due to loneliness (repeated).
Oh lady be good to me.
Final plea for the lady to be good.
