George Gershwin - Oh, Lady Be Good ! lyrics

rate me

Listen to my tale of woe,

It's terribly sad, but true.

All dressed up, no place to go,

Each ev'ning I'm awfully blue

I know I'm a winsome miss / I must win some handsome guy

Can't go on like this,

I could blossom out I know,

With somebody just like you. So...

Chorus :

Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good

Oh, lady, be good to me

I am so awf'ly misunderstood

So lady, be good to me

Oh, please have some pity

I'm all alone in this big city

I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,

So lady be good to me.

(bis)

Oh lady be good to me.
