Lady Be Good
Yearning for Sweet Redemption: Lady Be Good's Lonesome Tale
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story or problem.
It's terribly sad but true,
Emphasizing the truth and sadness of the tale.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling dressed up but lacking opportunities.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Consistently feeling down every evening.
I must win some handsome guy
Expressing the desire to attract an attractive man.
Can't go on like this,
Feeling unable to continue in the current state.
I could blossom out I know,
Expressing potential for personal growth with the right person.
With somebody just like you. So
Expressing a wish for a relationship with someone similar.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing a lady and requesting her 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 by others.
So lady, be good to me
Reiterating the request for the lady to be good.
Oh, please have some pity
Asking for compassion or understanding.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Describing a sense of loneliness in a large city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Expressing a vulnerable state, akin to a helpless child.
So lady be good to me.
Repeating the plea for the lady to be good.
Oh, please have some pity
Reiterating the call for pity.
I'm all alone in this big city
Reiterating the loneliness in the big city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Repeating the expression of being a lonesome figure.
So lady be good to me.
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good.
Oh lady be good to me.
Closing with a final request for the lady to be good.
