Every Little Thing
Connor Sarah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every little thing I take from you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every little thing you say or do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building

Whenever you go away from me
Go out with your friends I see
There's something in your eyes, uh
(And it looks just like a lie)
Didn't I give you what you want?
Didn't I give it all to you?
Why is everything you do a little bit untrue?

And every time (every time)
You act wrong
I go away from you just a little more

Every little thing I take from you
Every little thing you say or do
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
It's there you know it's true
Every little thing I feel inside
I don't want to talk about my own pride
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
And you should know it's true

You can do just what you like
As long as you know deep inside
That I'm the only one for you
(Don't you act just like you do)
Didn't I make you feel so good?
Didn't I treat you like I should?
So why is everything I know that the way you act's not true?

And every time (every time)
You act wrong (you act wrong)
I go away from you just a little more

Every little thing I take from you
Every little thing you say or do
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
It's there you know it's true
Every little thing I feel inside
I don't want to talk about my own pride
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
And you should know it's true (you should know it's true)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You should know it's true, baby

Every little thing I take from you
Every little thing you say or do
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building, baby

And every time
You act wrong (you act wrong)
I go away from you just a little more

Every little thing I take from you
Every little thing you say or do
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
It's there you know it's true
Every little thing I feel inside
I don't want to talk about my own pride
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
And you should know it's true

Every little thing I take from you
Every little thing you say or do
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
It's there you know it's true
Every little thing I feel inside
I don't want to talk about my own pride
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
And you should know it's true (you should know it's true)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
And you should know it's true
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, baby
