Little Child Lyrics

Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
If you want someone to make you feel so fine
Then we'll have some fun when you're mine, all mine
So come, come on, come on
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
When you're by my side, you're the only one
Don't you run and hide, just come on, come on
So come on, come on, come on
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
Oh yeah, baby, take a chance with me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The worst Beatles song, without a doubt. I hate to use the word "worst" in relation to the Beatles but this is definitely the worst song they ever did, i hate this song so much, the lyrics make me cringe, and these days they just sound sick, I think it must be Michael Jackson's favourite Beatles song.

I don't understand why you hate this song so much.It has a great and catchy tune as well as simple lyrics. Less is more guys when it comes to art and this song is simple,meaning perfect!

The song would be great if it didn't have this set of lyrics. I like the music a lot although the words to the song kinda ruin it for me
