Sheeran, Ed - Little Lady Lyrics






[Mikill Pane:]
Listen
Little lady, this is just the worst way to spend your birthday
It's 30 degrees, Thursday
You work late, you was with a perv making dirty fake love in his Mercedes
Lady, the word 'rape' sums up events that take place every night
You wanna get up but you know your legs will ache if you try
And you remember that your punter went crazy last night
You drag yourself to the mirror to check your face then you cry
Forget the visit to the clinic you were booked in for
You'll make a trip to the Whittington where they'll look at your jaw
They'll be inquisitive and ask about your business for sure
They'll know you're fibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door
But young woman
The pimp sees you as nothing but a dumb hooker
Medical attention could be fatal
'Cause the cunt wouldn't ever let a doctor near someone that's getting dough for him
'Cause next you got poxy authorities sticking their noses in

[Ed Sheeran:]
She's just under the upper hand
And goes mad for a couple grams
And she don't wanna go outside, tonight.
'Cause in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and
Sell love to another man
It's too cold outside, for angels to fly.
For angels to fly.

[Mikill Pane:]
Little lady, your mind you've made up
Your injuries you can't hide with make-up
You need some medical advice, you make up
A little lie to say just
In case the doc opens his eyes and don't decide to play dumb
With any luck you'll see the same dude who stitched your top lip
Last year when your pimp just lost it
He wouldn't recognise you if you stared him in the face anyway
'Cause all the heroin is making you age
But you're a heroine for taking the strain of being a prostitute and punching bag
The funds you have left go where you're from using Moneygram
Mother had to get you out the motherland to study
That was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand
Little does she know you're never coming back
She put you in her brother's hand only for him to formulate another plan
He's the fucking cause of your appalling state this summer
Fancy that, you came to London to get pimped by your Uncle, damn.

[Ed Sheeran:]
She's just under the upper hand
Goes mad for a couple grams
And she don't wanna go outside, tonight.
'Cause in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and
Sell love to another man
It's too cold outside, for angels to fly
Now an angel will die, covered in white
With closed eyes and hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight,
Straight down the line.

[Mikill Pane:]
Little lady, you're trembling with fear
Your skinny frame kinda resembles a deer
You're sitting facing the detective, oh dear
The meddling nurse couldn't just leave it,
She's only gone and made it much worse calling police in
She'll never know the gravity of the damage she's caused
You're causing scandal going mad in the ward now
The cop is trying to calm you, telling you he won't let no one harm you
The same question he keeps trying to ask you, 'Who you working for?'
He's talking to you like you're worth more than a dirty whore
You're having a conversation you could be murdered for
You're learning more about exactly why you need to help bring him or her to court
It's kicking knowledge you ain't ever heard before
Just before he leaves, he reassures you that he knows that it's hard
He underlines a mobile number you can phone on his card
Begs you to use it
He's useless if you're gonna be stupid
'Cause an answer hasn't come from your bruised lips, you're on your own
You've gotta go and give your pimp what you owe
You reach your door and then it dawns that you've been followed home
Before you turn around you feel a cold blade on your throat
And then a voice says, 'Where you been bitch? I wanna know.'
No prizes for guessing who it is, resistance would be foolishness
You open the front door, he boots you in
There's something new in him, he's silent now that fills you with terror
Get your alibi straight, you could be killed for an error
He towers over you, the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight
At this point your life flashes before your eyes
Your handbag's dropped and all the contents are all over the floor
Despite the mess there's only one thing that's caught his eye
And in the moment of rage, he brutally murders his niece
And dumps her body in the boot of his Merc in the street.
Little lady left this earth in the worst way
All because she got a card on her 13th birthday

[Ed Sheeran:]
And we're all under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And we don't wanna go outside, tonight.
'Cause in the pipe she'll fly to the motherland and
Sell love to another man.
It's too cold outside, for angels to fly, for angels to fly, and fly fly,
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly, angels to die

  5. j.... w....

    She has a kid!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

  6. D.... T....

    Love the Song/video, i have listened to it for years but only just read the comments below. Kind of makes me upset seeing it how the women had no defense and felt she had to deal with the abuse. ABUSE is not okay in any way shape or form and a daughter losing her mother, and a mother losing her life and the guilt of the murder. 3 people massively effected because society makes these things so easy to happen, people feel its okay to sleep with others for money.

    Great project for college, feel you could do even more with it and go again.

  7. T.... M....

    I STARTED TO CRY.😭😭😭😭😭😭
    YOU SHOULD HAVE SHOWN THE CARD ☺

  8. M.... F....

    Omg can everyone stop sending hate shes like 14 she made a video to a song she liked and it was really good i know it wasn't perfect but shes not a bloody director Jesus.

    ,,,,, it diesnt always end this way.

  14. g.... ....

    being the 3,000th like is pre cool to me

  15. G.... K....

    I always imagined in my head the little girl and uncle being black .. probably the mention of the 'motherland' for me associating to Africa .. but I suppose motherland can mean homeland to any nationality : /

    G.... K....

    I always imaged her to be Russian

  16. h.... ....

    Isn't this just The A Team with some Mikill Pane in it?

    h.... ....

    havefunwiththat this song was the original, radios refused to play this hence A-Team was made

  17. l.... l....

    Basically. ..
    Mother couldn't care for the daughter for some reason so she gave her daughter to the daughters brother but he didn't give a chap about her so he sold her to her uncle who then basically kept raping her and treating her like a whore she went to the doctors about her eye to get it checked out and said "got hit by a door" but because they had seen her so many times before the doctors and nurses became suspicious and phones the police who then investigated her.... she final tells them about it and one detective wants to help he she goes home and her uncle obviously knows she went somewhere and told someone about him so he kills her

  18. B.... S....

    This video is disappointing for the song anyways

  19. A.... ....

    I liked it 😊 I believe it was really well done

  20. T.... s....

  26. A.... W....

    every single time i wipe my tears, more come..

  27. m.... w....

    i love this song i also love ed sheeeran so much because of his one song super market flowers

  28. d.... l....

    If it's not what the whole song is about it kinda sounds like the story of "Brenda got a baby"

  29. G.... ....

    That mother quacker

  30. K.... R....

    I don't really like the lyrics to this song. It's messed up and sad. Why would you make a song like this Ed Sheeran

  31. E.... D....

    What's the guy's name ?

  32. *.... ....

    I can honestly say I'm in love with this

  33. E.... ....

    no offence but you could clearly tell his car was a honda not a mercedes! 😂

  34. S.... G....

    This video perfectly depicts the song. Love the video!

  35. M.... G....

    wouah. really beautiful. i love this❤

  36. E.... ....

    I cried!

  37. R.... ....

    this is an amazing video and it raises so much awareness... I love this song.. do you mind me asking what part of London was this video taken?

  38. D.... T....

    this is sad we're the kid going to go

  39. G.... W....

    Jesus this world is fucked up. But at least somebody is trying to raise awareness.

  40. J.... S....

    This is really good for a college project, I'd say it looks more like a university project. Well done.

  41. m.... x....

    I love this video and song..ALSO IT WAS MADE IN BIRMINGHAM ayyyyee

  42. J.... ....

    It's a good video. But the way I imagined it as is more like a cloudy rainy day in England kids like in some movies and then at the end she's laying in an alley behind some buildings in a puddle of water. Idk but I always imagined the girl being a really pail girl. Kinda like the girl from silent hill. I feel in love with her since the first time I saw that move when I was little.

  43. E.... W....

    This was so good!!! Props to you guys👏🏻👏🏻

  44. E.... V....

    this is why women that are in an abusive relationship should tell someone before something gets to bad. they either stay or get killed

    E.... V....

    Emma roks It's easy to say that but when you're in their situation it's almost impossible

  45. A.... C....

    This song hits me in the feels every time omg😭

  46. A.... M....

    i feel like this would make a good movie

  47. M.... K....

    just some constructive criticism. I'd say maybe hide her face throughout it then show it at the end because that would give it the punch of finding out she's 13. Also the cameras a bit shaky sometimes. Really great though!

  48. z.... ....

    Fuckin tune :0:p:p

  49. K.... A....

    You know it's a good video when you actually feel hatred towards the guy in it, hahaha, good job guys.

  50. W.... G....

    This video is fucked up

  51. S.... D....

    Did you go to a public place for the restaurant scene? And if so, did anyone question why the girl had bruises. Even if it is makeup, it looks realistic

    S.... D....

    Sheila Deronjic they probably told people what they were doing

  52. H.... i....

    That young girl was a good actor,I watched it 4 times it's really good,probably watch it more

    H.... i....

    Appreciate it potato!!

  53. M.... H....

    So basically a mother gave her child to her brother because she was unable to care for her and her brother begins to rape his niece and hurt her, she went to the doctor and the nurse grew suspicious of her bruises and called the police, the policeman gave the girl a business card with his number on it. When she went home later that night her uncle pushed her and the card fell out of her bag, he figured out she was in contact with the police and killed her. (For anyone that was confused)

    M.... H....

    Her uncle was also pimping her out

    M.... H....

    Megan Hewitson I thought....
    Mother couldn't care for the daughter for some reason so she gave her daughter to the daughters brother but he didn't give a chap about her so he sold her to her uncle who then basically kept raping her and treating her like a whore she went to the doctors about her eye to get it checked out and said "got hit by a door" but because they had seen her so many times before the doctors and nurses became suspicious and phones the police who then investigated her.... she final tells them about it and one detective wants to help he she goes home and her uncle obviously knows she went somewhere and told someone about him so he kills her.

    M.... H....

    Megan Hewitson one part you got wrong, the uncle doesn't rape her, he pimps her out and abuses her

    M.... H....

    Megan Hewitson I thought that the uncle sells her for others

    M.... H....

    Nah. Mother gave kid to mother's brother (kids uncle).

  54. J.... S....

    I cried.

  55. J.... 9....

    Amazing

  56. C.... B....

    Unreal👌

  57. A.... S....

    For a collage project this is fucking amazing. Great work from all involved in making the video for this touching song

    A.... S....

    jeez, thanks Adam you're the real mvp

    A.... S....

    No honestly, no need to thank me. Thank you for making it :) Even if it wasn't a collage project it's an amazing video. Didn't think it was a project until I read about it :S

  58. J.... B....

    why did he killed her?

    J.... B....

    J's Blog .. did you not listen to the song

    J.... B....

    Sorry😂😂

    J.... B....

    @Adolf Lothbrok sorry he is rapping so fast!

    J.... B....

    J's Blog .. the story is about a female who is a prostitute and her pimp one day beats her up and she goes to hospital while at the hospital a police officer tries to help her and reassure her when the female leaves the police officer gives her his contact card so she can contact him later but that same day the female walks int her home and her pimp grabs her she drops her purse and the contents drop on the floor and the pimp notices the police officers card and goes into a rage and the pimp kills the female wich you find out that the Pimp is the prostitutes Uncle and it was the Prostitute 13th Birthday the day the pimp killed her

    "little lady left this earth in the worse way, all because she got a card on her 13th birthday"

  59. D.... P....

    D.... P....

  64. B.... ....

    BIRMINGHAM ✌️

  65. H.... J....

    so was he her pimp

    H.... J....

    Helena Jackson
    Yeah her pimp was her uncle

  66. J.... W....

    I like this, but it kinda spoils the punch of revealing she's 13

    J.... W....

    MutantMonkeY she dies after that line tho

    J.... W....

    James Wiggles

    Ed Sheran wrote it about a girl getting into drugs and being homeless

    She became a prostite at 18 to pay for the drugs

    I think with the proper person this went on for years 20s

    J.... W....

    "The A Team" and "Little Lady" is two different songs who has the same chorus. "The A Team" is about a girl who became herione addict (and then a prostitute and probably homeless?) by the age of 18, and "Little Lady" is about a 13 year old :)

    J.... W....

    MutantMonkeY no this song little Lady is about a 13 yr old that was sent overseas by her mom to live with her uncle who then pimped her out got her on h and then murdered her for talking to police

    J.... W....

    @Sanna Davidsson I'm pretty certain the a team is about meth not heroin 🤷

  67. I.... M....

    my friend told me about this song . it's a sad song little lady it makes me cry every time I hear it the tears are blinding me sorry xx

  68. M.... V....

    who else saw the numbers on the back of the car at the end when he dumped her body and closed the trunk?

  69. K.... ....

    I think this video was amazing.

  70. C.... I....

    This music video is absolutely amazing

  71. B.... B....

    The team on this project did a great job with the video. Well done guys, you should all be very proud!

  72. B.... J....

    why is the A-Team playing instead?

    B.... J....

    a team is the background. the lyrics are different though

    B.... J....

    this is pre a-team. The original.

    B.... J....

    brandon james ling

    Ed Sheran did a cover with this man rapping there's 2versions ed has this version on his channel too as well as his other version

  73. C.... R....

    Love this!

  74. g.... b....

    should of been in the charts

  75. T.... B....

    can someone explain to me why the end of the song it says 'she lost her life in the worst way all because she got a card on her 13th birthday' ??

    T.... B....

    thankyou, but why? sorry that just doesn't make sense haha x 

    T.... B....

    oh shit yeah! okay thankyou xx

  76. B.... b....

    was this shot in Birmingham? i recognize the beginning

    B.... b....

    Lol yh it is ,i live in birmingham

  77. H.... O....

    That was well put together for a college film. I couldnt see my self doing better. Good job guys!

  78. g.... r....

    The video was amazing but on the stab wound could have been alittle better.

  79. t.... n....

    this really what people go through and dont nobody care and pay attention people have killed or hurt they self over this i might be young but people should not have to go through that

  80. k.... e....

    that song is so meaningful

    k.... e....

    Kristina Easiley
    I know right? I love it so much cause it's a good song but the god damn feels get me every time

  81. E.... M....

    i cried so hard😢😿💔

  82. I.... ....

    Feel like you should of added the bit where she was talking to the police officer but other than that amazing video

  83. A.... W....

    this video proves that we take way to much for granted... the events mentioned in the song and what happens in the video will happen all around the UK and internationally everyday and I just sometimes wish there was something we could do.... very sad and upsetting

  84. T.... B....

    I shed a tear for this song great song 👌🏽💦

  85. T.... H....

    😢😭😭😢😭😢😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😢😭😢😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😭😢😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😢😭😭😢😢😭😢😭😭😢😢😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😢😭😭😢😭😭😢😭😭😢😭😭😭😭😭 PLZ TELL ME THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE

    T.... H....

    the video is fake, its a fan made I guess. read the description :)

    the song did now happen in real life, but of course I bet Little Ladies out there expierenced this.

    T.... H....

    Happens all the time

  86. Z.... 2....

    am I the only one that noticed that they wrote ed with two ds?

    Z.... 2....

    actually nope.. the second one... thats our bad..

  87. N.... ....

    🤘🏻

  88. g.... ....

    PERFECT video!!!!!!

  89. F.... N....

    Wow what can i say.thumbs up

  90. R.... M....

    This song is beautiful, sad and incredible filled with meaning and emotion. The video, though I applaud the effort, undermines the impact of the song for me. It lacks in building tension and the brutal punchline to finish, maybe its just because I had such a strong connection to this song before watching that I feel this way, but it just doesn't work for me. Well done for what is a good video though.

    R.... M....

    exactly how I felt

    R.... M....

    +Rugby Mad Aunty Nail on the head

    R.... M....

    Rugby Mad Aunty it's not an official video it was done by college students

  91. D.... j....

    U WANT RO GO TO HIS HOUSE AND STRANGLE HIM!

  92. C.... K....

    video was a dissapointment compared to the song , the song deserved a much better video

    C.... K....

    Courtney Kells this isn't the real song the part ed sheeran sang was from The A Team song!

    C.... K....

    Don't see you doing any better

    C.... K....

    if you saw what album this is from, you would know it was a collab. So ed did this with Mikill Pane because he wanted to.

    C.... K....

    Most the time they won't play this anywhere that's why little lady was changed to a team as no one would play it on the radio

    C.... K....

    Courtney Kells please be quiet and leave them alone. I'd like to see you do better.

  93. b.... m....

    this is sad because shit like this really happen

  94. E.... M....

    this is gold

  95. J.... S....

    The first time I heard this song, it made me cry. Now, watching this video, I'm crying again. This is excellent, and it is a perfect portrayal. Amazing work!

  96. A.... L....

    I love this song and I cry every single time I hear it, anyone else?
