Little Child Lyrics
[Chorus]
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
[Chorus]
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
[Instrumental Break / Harmonica Solo]
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
[Chorus]
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Little child, little child
Little child, won't you dance with me?
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby, take a chance with me
[Instrumental Break / Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 2]
When you're by my side
You're the only one
Don't you run and hide
Just come on, come on
Yeah, come on, come on, come on
[Chorus]
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 (Oh, yeah)
Baby, take a chance with me (Oh, yeah)
When you're by my side
You're the only one
Don't you run and hide
Just come on, come on
Yeah, come on, come on, come on
[Chorus]
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 (Oh, yeah)
Baby, take a chance with me (Oh, yeah)

Genius Annotation
One of the shorter Beatles tracks, Little Child is seen as somewhat of work job in the eyes of Paul McCartney. Though the song was slightly written for Ringo’s singing in mind, his vocal range wasn’t what they were going for, so John and Paul sung it instead.
