Every Little Thing
The Low Life Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't remember the first time that I woke up
In a strange bed
In a strange place
With a strange face
And a headache

I thought about asking her her name
And about her age
But I think its better
If we both just let it lay

Every little thing I do in the night time
I forget by morning X3
Every little thing I do in the night time

I can't remember the first time that I woke up penniless
Not knowing what I spent
And why my shirt smells like vomit
And my pants stained with chocolate
And my crotch got this burning sensation
That makes me want to weep
A little secret
A little secret
A little secret that you bitches never keep

Every little thing I do in the night time
I forget by morning X3
Every little thing I do in the night time

Every little thing I do
Every little thing I do
Every little thing I do in the night time
Every little thing I do




Every little thing I do
Every little thing I do in the night time

Overall Meaning

The Low Life's song "Every Little Thing" is a candid and honest account of a night gone wrong. The lyrics depict the uncertainty and haziness that often come with a wild night out. The singer wakes up in a strange bed in a strange place with a stranger next to him. He considers asking her name and age, but decides against it. The morning-after haze has washed away any details of the previous night. He doesn't remember what he did or said, and he's left with a pounding headache.


The second verse paints an even more unpleasant picture. The singer wakes up penniless, unsure of how he spent his money. His shirt smells of vomit, and his pants are stained with chocolate. He's experiencing a burning sensation in his crotch, which makes him want to weep. He confesses that he has a little secret that the women he's been with never seem to keep.
