Every Little Thing
Sarah Connor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics of Sarah Connor's song "Every Little Thing" explore the gradual disintegration of a relationship caused by a lack of trust and the accumulation of small lies and questionable behavior. The repeated refrain of "Every little thing I take from you/Every little thing you say or do/Adds another stone to the wall I'm building" signifies the way in which each infraction builds up over time, with the singer becoming increasingly distant and closed-off as a result. The initial lines of the song imply that the person being addressed has previously broken promises or been unfaithful, and that this has caused a loss of faith on the part of the singer. The verses describe how the singer is struggling to reconcile their love for the other person with their increasing disillusionment, and the final repetition of the chorus serves as a reminder of how damaging even apparently small transgressions can be in a relationship.
The song features a catchy pop/rock melody, with Connor's soulful vocals providing an emotional punch to the lyrics. Released in 2001, "Every Little Thing" was a hit in Germany and several other European countries, where it cemented Connor's status as a rising star. It was included on her debut album "Green Eyed Soul," which was similarly successful and helped to establish Connor as one of the most promising talents in the European music scene. The song remains a fan favorite and is often considered one of the highlights of Connor's early discography.

This emotional distance is real and palpable, and you can sense it too.
Every little thing I feel inside
Every feeling I have, good or bad, is contributing to our dynamic and shaping how I respond to you.

You can do just what you like
You are free to do as you please, but your actions have consequences and affect our relationship.
As long as you know deep inside
As long as you're aware of how your choices are impacting us and willing to take responsibility for them.
Every time you act wrong
Whenever you do something that feels like a violation of my trust or respect, no matter how small, it has a cumulative effect and pushes me away.
