Artist/Band: Janis Joplin
Lyrics for Song: Little Girl Blue
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Janis Joplin



Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.
What else, what else is there to do?
Oh, and I know how you feel,
I know you feel that you're through.
Oh ah-wah-ah sit there, hmm, count,
Ah, count your little fingers,
My unhappy, oh, little girl, little girl blue, yeah.

Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel'em falling down, honey, all around you.
Honey, don't you know it's time?
I feel it's time,
Somebody told you, 'cause you got to know,
That all you ever gonna have to count on,
Or gonna wanna lean on,
It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do,
When they're falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you're unhappy.

Oh sit there, ah, go on, go on
And count your fingers.
I don't know what else, what else,
Honey, have you got to do.
And I know how you feel,
And I know you ain't got no reason to go on,
And I know you feel that you must be through.
Oh honey, go on and sit right back down.
I want you to count, oh, count your fingers,
Ah, my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue.
I know you're unhappy,
Ooh ah, honey, I know,
Baby, I know, just how you feel.


Little Girl Blue

Janis Joplin's 'Little Girl Blue' stands as a haunting centerpiece of her 1968 debut album, 'Pearl.' The track showcases her raw, emotive vocal style, characterized by a soaring, almost wailing delivery that defines the blues-rock genre of the late 1960s. Written by Joplin and guitarist Richard B. Evans, the song explores themes of heartbreak and the struggle to maintain innocence amidst emotional turmoil. Its acoustic guitar foundation supports Joplin's powerful performance, creating an intimate yet explosive atmosphere that resonated deeply with audiences of the era. The recording captures the essence of her early career, blending traditional blues structures with the psychedelic energy of the time. As a staple of her discography, 'Little Girl Blue' remains a definitive example of her ability to transform personal sorrow into universal art, cementing her legacy as a pioneering figure in rock and blues history.
