Little Ghost Lyrics

Little ghost, little ghost
One I´m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I´m the only one that sees you,
And I can´t do much to please you
And it´s not yet time to meet the lord above

The first woman that I met her
I did not expect a specter
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
She looked into me so sweetly
And we left the room discreetly
No one else could know the secret of our love

Little ghost, little ghost
One I´m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I´m the only one that sees you,
And I can´t do much to please you
And it´s not yet time to meet the lord above

Every morning I awoke
And I see my little ghost
Wond´rin´ if it´s really her that´s lying there
I lean to touch her and I whisper
But not brave enough to kiss her
When I held her I was really holding air

Little ghost, little ghost
One I´m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I´m the only one that sees you,
And I can´t do much to please you
And it´s not yet time to meet the lord above

Though I try my best to keep it
There really was no secret
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall
No one else could see this apparition
But because of my condition
I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all

Little ghost, little ghost
One I´m scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I´m the only one that sees you,
And I can´t do much to please you
And it´s not yet time to meet the lord above
No, it´s not yet time to meet the lord above

What is the Meaning of Little Ghost?

In this hauntingly playful tune, The White Stripes explore the theme of unrequited and invisible love through the metaphor of a ghost. The narrator is enamored with a spectral figure, symbolizing feelings of affection that are not only unreturned but also unnoticed by others. This ghostly love interest represents an elusive or unattainable love, perhaps one that exists solely in the protagonist's mind or heart. The repeated refrain about scaring up "a little bit of love" suggests a yearning for connection and recognition, emphasizing the loneliness and isolation that often accompany unreciprocated emotions. Ultimately, the song delves into the complexities of loving something intangible and the personal invisibility felt in such one-sided relationships.
