Every Little Thing
The Bones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm walking beside her
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh
When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes, I know that she loves me now
There is one thing I'm sure of
I will love her forever
For I know love will never die
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, ooh




Every little thing
Every little thing
