"C'mon, __ a little!" (4)

I believe the answer is:

live

(Other definitions for live that I've seen before include "Carrying current - not pre-recorded" , "Exist; not recorded" , "Alert and enthusiastic person" , "Heard or seen as the event takes place and not from a recording" , "Electrically charged" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
