Lady Be Good
Yearning for Understanding: Tchavolo Schmitt's Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story
It's terribly sad but true,
Emphasizing the truth of the sad story
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling ready or prepared, but circumstances don't allow
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Consistently feeling down or depressed every evening
I must win some handsome guy
Desire to attract a charming person
Can't go on like this,
Unable to continue living like this
I could blossom out I know,
Belief in the potential for personal growth with the right person
With somebody just like you. So
Hope to flourish with someone similar
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Requesting kindness and goodness from a sweet and lovely lady
Oh, lady, be good to me
Pleading for kindness specifically from this lady
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling deeply misunderstood
So lady, be good to me
Asking for kindness again from the lady due to feeling misunderstood
Oh, please have some pity
Pleading for compassion
I'm all-alone in this big city
Expressing loneliness in a large city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Describing oneself as vulnerable and inexperienced
So lady be good to me.
Pleading for kindness once more due to vulnerability
Oh, please have some pity
Reiterating the plea for compassion
I'm all alone in this big city
Reemphasizing the feeling of isolation in a big city
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Reiterating vulnerability and inexperience
So lady be good to me.
Repeating the plea for kindness due to vulnerability
Oh lady be good to me.
Final plea for kindness from the lady
