Every Little Thing
Rachel Stevens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sweeter you taste
The bitter I feel
The slower I play
The quicker you deal
Your hand on me
The harder you ache
The less that I give
The more that you take
Your time
(Take your time)
Take your time with me
(Take your time with me)
You can't stand it
Just because I wanna
You step over me, oh
I want every little thing that you don't
You're standing in a different corner
You're trying to get the best of me
You want every little thing that I don't
You seem to want to make things harder
Harder than they ought to be
The faster I ride
The more that you stow
The lower you fight
The higher I fall
Right down
(Down, right down)
Down on my knees
(Down, down)
(Ah)
The sting in your kiss
The twist in my touch
You had me so hard
But you want me so much
Oh bitch, anything for me
You can't hide
Baby, don't deny it
I'm your fantasy
I want every little thing that you don't
You're standing in a different corner
You're trying to get the best of me
You want every little thing that I don't
You seem to want to make things harder
Harder than they ought to be
I want every little thing that you don't
You're standing in a different corner
You're trying to get the best of me
You want every little thing that I don't
You seem to want to make things harder
Harder than they out to be
I want every little thing that you don't
You're standing in a different corner
You're trying to get the best of me
You want every little thing that I don't
You seem to want to make things harder
Harder than they out to be

The chorus of the song is that, "I want every little thing that you don't, you're standing in a different corner". This line suggests that the singer is trying to get the best out of her partner, but he is always challenging her with something different, which sometimes can cause problems in the relationship.
The first verse of the song suggests that each action by one of the partners leads to a different reaction by the other. The line "The sweeter you taste, the bitter I feel" hints at an unbalanced relationship where one person is taking too much from the relationship. The second verse of the song explains how the different actions of the partners will only result in an endless process of trying to satisfy each other’s needs. The singer seems to understand that her partner needs everything to be his way, but she is willing to take it all because of the love she has for him.
Overall, the song “Every Little Thing” describes a relationship where both partners demand different things from each other. Nevertheless, despite the challenges, the singer remains devoted to her partner, willing to give him everything he wants, just as he does for her.

The passionate nature of my affection
You had me so hard
I was deeply infatuated with you
But you want me so much
You're highly attracted to me
Oh bitch, anything for me
You're willing to do anything for me
You can't hide
You can't conceal your true emotions
Baby, don't deny it
Don't pretend your feelings are not real
I'm your fantasy
I'm the object of your desire
