Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Sting & The Police/The Police Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me, must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Every little thing, every little thing
Every little thing, every little thing
Every little, every little, every little
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Thing she does is magic
Ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh
Ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh
Ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh
Ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh, ee-oh
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing she do is
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Hey, oh, yo, oh
Ee-oh
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
The song “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” by The Police is a romantic hit about a man who is in love with a woman who captivates him in every way. The opening verse showcases the man’s struggles to express his feelings and the fear that he experiences every time he tries to tell her. He finds it difficult to express himself, consequently loses his nerve, and suffers the same fate every time he comes near her. Despite this, he feels that every little thing she does is magic and admires her as she turns him on. Her presence in his life transforms his sad and tragic past and gives him the hope that his love for her will continue to endure.
In the second verse, the man reminisces about his thousand rainy days since he first met the woman. He describes his efforts to call her up and ask her to marry him, but his silent fears restrain him from reaching out to her. He questions why he always has to be alone and wonder if his time has already passed him by. Despite all of these reservations, he still feels that everything she does is magic and admires her as she turns him on.
