[Verse 1: Jade Thirlwall & Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word
Always talking but she can't be heard
You can see her there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside
Scared to talk but she don't know why
[Pre-Chorus: All & Jade Thirlwall + Perrie Edwards]
Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow go back in time
And maybe listen to my own advice
[Chorus: All & Jesy Nelson]
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you got to shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you want to be
Little me (Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
[Verse 2: Jesy Nelson with All, Perrie Edwards with Jesy Nelson]
Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age
You can't write a book from a single page
Hands on the clock only turn one way, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run too fast and you risk it all
Can't be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but you look so small
[Pre-Chorus: All & Perrie Edwards]
Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow go back in time
And maybe listen to my own advice
[Chorus: All & Jade Thirlwall]
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you got to shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you want to be
Oh, little me
[Bridge: All, Jade Thirlwall & Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
Little me, yeah, eh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(I'll you one thing I would say to her)
[Chorus: All]
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you got to shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you want to be
[Post-Chorus: All]
Little me, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro: All & Jade Thirlwall]
Little me, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you want to be
