Cover art for Little Lady lyrics by Ed Sheeran

This song is about a 13 year old girl who is shipped to her Uncle's house in London by her mom so that she can have a higher education. Instead, her Uncle gets her addicted to heroin so he can make her become a prostitute in order to make money. Well one night after having sex with yet another strange man, she realizes her jaw has been hurt. So instead of going to the clinic(which was either to check for STDs or have a pregnancy test or something like that) she decides to go to the Whittington(a hospital in London) to have her injury looked at. She's hesitant to do this though because she knows her punter(her pimp) will be angry at her for doing so because then the cops will get involved. She ends up going though because she can't hide what happened to her with make-up. She makes up a lie to tell just in case the doctor's decide not to pretend they don't know what happened. But of course, the nurse gets suspicious and doesn't believe the girl's story, so she called in the police. She started freaking out in the room even though the cops assured her he wouldn't let anyone hurt her again. She stays silent, but likes that he's talking to her like she's more than a dity whore. He gives her a card with his phone # on it before he leaves, begs her to use because if she doesn't there's no way he can help her. She leaves to give her pimp all the money she owes him. But her pimp follows her home and because she's been gone so long, wants to know where she's been. Scared and nervous, she drops her bags on the floor. Even though there's a mess, all her pimp sees is the card the cop gave her. He gets angry at her for going to the cops so he murders her and dumps her body in the streets. This song is so sad, but I love it<3

Song Meaning

I don't understand why your meaning was flagged. You basically explained the story of the song. The words are deep and heavy, but it's not like you wrote anything awful. This shouldn't have been flagged in my opinion... :P
