Little Lady Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

1 (Verse 1 - Mikill Pane)

2 Listen

3 Little lady, this is just the worst way to spend your birthday

4 It's 30 degrees, Thursday

5 You work late, you was with a perv making dirty fake love in his Mercedes

6 Lady the word 'rape' sums up events that take place every night

7 You wanna get up but you no your legs will ache if you try

8 & you remember that your punter went crazy last night

9 You drag yourself to the mirror to check face then you cry

10 Forget the visit to the clinic you was booked in for

11 You'll make a trip to the Whittington were they'll look at your jaw

12 They'll be inquisitive and ask about your business for sure

13 They'll know your fibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door

14 But young woman

15 The pimp see's you as nothing but a dumb hooker

16 Medical attention could be fatal

17 'cause the cunt wouldn't ever let a doctor near someone thats getting dough for him

18 'cause next you got poxy authorities sticking their noses in

19 (Chorus - Ed Sheeran)

20 She's just under the upper hand

21 Goes mad for a couple grams

22 & she don't wanna go outside, tonight.

23 'cos in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and

24 Sell love to another man

25 It's too cold outside, for angels to fly.

26 (Verse 2 - Mikill Pane)

27 Little lady, your mind you've made up

28 Your injurys you can't hide with make-up

29 You need some medical advice, you make up

30 A little lie to say just

31 In case the doc opens his eyes and don't decide to play dumb

32 With any luck you'll see the same dude who stiched your top lip

33 Last year when your pimp just lost it

34 He wouldn't recognise if you stared him in the face anyway

35 'cos all the heroin is making you age

36 But your a heroin for taking the strain of being a prostitue and punching bag

37 The funds you have left go where your from using moneygram

38 Mother had to get you out the motherland to study

39 That was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand

40 Little does she know your never coming back

41 She put you in her brother's hand only for him to formulate another plan

42 He's the fucking cause of your appalling state the summer fans

43 See that you came to London to get pimped by your Uncle, damn.

44 (Chorus - Ed Sheeran)

45 She's just under the upper hand

46 Goes mad for a couple grams

47 & she don't wanna go outside, tonight.

48 'cos in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and

49 Sell love to another man

50 It's too cold outside, for angels to fly

51 Now an angel will die, covered in white

52 With closed eyes & hoping for a better life

53 This time, we'll fade out tonight,

54 Straight down the line.

55 (Verse 3 - Mikill Pane)

56 Little lady, your trembling with fear

57 Your skinny frame kinda resembles the dear

58 Your sitting facing the detective, oh dear

59 The meddling nurse couldn't just leave it,

60 She's only gone and made it much worse calling police and

61 She'll never know the gravity of the damage she's caused

62 Your causing scandal going mad in the ward now

63 The coppers trying to calm you, telling you he won't let no one harm you

64 The same question he keeps trying to ask you, who you working for?

65 He's talking to like your worth more than a dirty whore

66 Your having a conversation you could be murdered for

67 Your learning more about exactly why you need to help bring him or her to court

68 It's kicking knowledge you ain't ever heard before

69 Just before he leaves, he reassures you that he knows that it's hard

70 He underlines a mobile number you can phone on his card

71 Begs you to use it

72 He's useless if your gonna be stupid

73 'cos an answer hasn't come from your bruised lips, your on your own

74 You've gotta go and give your pimp what you owe

75 You reach your door and then it dawns that you've been followed home

76 Before you turn around you feel a cold blade on your throat

77 And then a voice says 'where you been bitch? I wanna know.'

78 No prizes for guessing who it is, resistance would be foolishness

79 You open the front door, he boots you in

80 There's something new in him, he's silent now that fills you with terror

81 Get your albibi straight, you could be killed for an error

82 He towers over you, the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight

83 At this point your life flashes before your eyes

84 Your handbags dropped and all the contents are all over the floor

85 Despite the mess there's only one thing that's caught his eye

86 And in the moment of rage, he brutally murders his niece

87 And dumps her body in the boot of his Merc in the street.

88 Little lady left this earth in the worst way

89 All because she got a card on her 13th birthday

90 (Chorus - Ed Sheeran)

91 & We're all under the upper hand

92 & go mad for a couple grams

93 & we don't wanna go outside, tonight.

94 'Cos in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and

95 Sell love to another man

96 It's too cold outside, for angels to fly.
