Lyrics
Listen to my tale of woe,
Expressing a sad story, inviting attention.
It's terribly sad but true,
Highlighting the genuine sadness in the tale.
All dressed up, no place to go
Feeling prepared or dressed up but lacking purpose.
Each evening I'm awfully blue.
Consistently feeling down each evening.
I must win some handsome guy
Expressing a desire to attract a handsome companion.
Can't go on like this,
Feeling a need for change in the current situation.
I could blossom out I know,
Believing in the potential for personal growth with the right person.
With somebody just like you. So
Continuing the plea for companionship.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Addressing someone sweet and lovely, requesting kindness.
Oh, lady, be good to me
Reiterating the plea for goodness from the lady.
I am so awfully misunderstood
Expressing a feeling of being misunderstood.
So lady, be good to me
Repeating the request for the lady to be good.
Oh, please have some pity
Pleading for compassion or mercy.
I'm all-alone in this big city
Highlighting loneliness in the big city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Describing oneself as a lonesome individual.
So lady be good to me.
Reiterating the plea for the lady to be good.
Oh, please have some pity
Repeating the plea for pity and understanding.
I'm all alone in this big city
Emphasizing loneliness in the big city.
I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
Reiterating the description of being a lonesome babe in the wood.
So lady be good to me.
Concluding with a final plea for the lady to be good.
Oh lady be good to me.
Summing up the entire appeal for kindness and goodness.
