Oh, lady, why can't you see, and please be good to me?
I'm all alone in a big city, and I love you.
Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good.
Oh, you lady, be good to me.
I'm all alone and misunderstood.
Oh, lady, be good to me.
I'm all alone in this big city,
with my side of Charlie Parker blowing cocoa on his alto.
The music consoles me.
Oh, lady, why can't you see?
I'm all lonesome, being with the one.
Oh, you lady, be good to me.
I'm all alone and misunderstood.
Oh, you lady, be good to me.
I'm all alone and misunderstood.
Oh, you lady, be good to me.
Oh, you lady, be good to me.
Oh, my sweet and lovely lady, be good.
Oh, lady, please be good to me, for can't you see?
I'm so lonely, I'm all alone and misunderstood.
Oh, little lady, if you only would be good to me.
I'm all alone in this big city,
walking round the town with nowhere to turn.
Oh, lady, if you would, please have some pity.
I'm all alone and misunderstood.
Oh, I know you could be, and I pray you would be.
And if you would, to me.
