Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sit there, hm, 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 wah wah ah sit there, hm, 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, oh honey all around you.
Honey dont you know its time,
I feel its time,
Somebody told you cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
Its 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.

The singer tells the person to sit down and count their fingers, implying that there is nothing else that they can do. The repetition of this phrase and the use of the words "unhappy" and "through" suggest a sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer recognizes this feeling and tells the person that they understand how they feel.


As the song progresses, the singer advises the person to also count the raindrops falling around them, indicating that there is beauty even in the midst of sadness. The singer then tells the person that they are not alone and that they have someone to lean on. This support, however, will feel just like the raindrops falling around them. The song ends with the singer telling the person to continue counting their fingers and that they understand their unhappiness and what they are going through.

Toute sa vie
On garde en soi cet enfant que l on fût..
Malheureux ...perdu .....incompris ...
Et quelque part
On le reste .....
Merci Janis ......si profonde
C est l adulte devenue qui parle à la petite fille qu' elle a été......
Elle parle avec bcp d amour à son enfant intérieur....au notre...
Comme une berceuse ........comme un baume..
O Janis ..💖

May this song catch my “Little Girl Blue”
before she is too far away to be saved.

Does not exist any words to express what I am feeling, when J.J. is singing. Someone bellow said somethig like:"Dear God, give us back our Janis". Yes, do it but, please, alive! Janis Joplin was, is and will be the best real artist for ever! Sit comfortably and listen! Not enough? So listen more!

This feels like she’s hugging everyone who suffers from mental illness. I think that’s how she would want to be remembered especially being her favorite song to record I think that was her intention I can hear the love and sympathy in her voice like she knows the pain and knows what to say

@jones616

Don't ever pass by a chance to tell someone that you love them...don't don't dont

@yan-ikwld1497
