Lady Be Good
Lonesome in the City: Unveiling the Heartfelt Tale of 'Lady Be Good'
Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story or experience.
It's terribly sad but true,
Acknowledging the sadness as a genuine reality.
All dressed up, no place to go
Being dressed up without a destination or purpose.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Feeling consistently down or melancholic each evening.
I must win some handsome guy
Expressing a desire to attract an attractive partner.
Can't go on like this,
Feeling unable to continue in the current state.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing that a positive change is possible with the right person.
With somebody just like you. So
Expressing a specific desire for someone similar to the listener.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Requesting the lady to be sweet and lovely.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good to the speaker.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Feeling deeply misunderstood.
So lady, be good to me
Repeating the request for the lady to be good to the speaker.
Oh, please have some pity
Asking for compassion or understanding.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Describing a sense of isolation in a large city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Portraying oneself as a lonesome figure in need of kindness.
So lady be good to me.
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good to the speaker.
Oh, please have some pity
Repeating the request for compassion or understanding.
I'm all alone in this big city
Restating the sense of loneliness in a big city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Emphasizing the speaker's status as a lonesome individual.
So lady be good to me.
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good to the speaker.
Oh lady be good to me.
Final plea for the lady to be good to the speaker.
