Every Word Lyrics
i saw a picture
how could you be so careless
how could you have done that
to us
and i write this letter
i send it all back to you
and every word you said
in there every word
oh oh
how could you have done that to us
you treated me like a stranger
and all the time i was loving you
all your slick moves they were once innocent moves
i wanted to look up to you
i really trusted you
and every word you said
in there every word
oh oh
how could you have done that to us
i was loving you like a child
all the time you were smiling the same smile
i was loving you like a child
i really trusted you
every word you said
every word you said
love is what the word was
every word you said
every word you said
all the time you were smiling
love is what the word was
every word you said
every word that you said
i was loving you like a child yeah
and all the time you were smiling the same smile

this is all about deception.
When I sing this song it brings chills to my body!
"You treated me like a stranger And all the time I was loving you All your slick moves They were once innocent moves I wanted to look up to you"
Sade loves this man with an unquestionable type of adoration. "I wanted to look up to you" but he is deceiving her "All your slick moves".
I was loving you like a child All the time you were smiling The same smile I was loving you like a child
Loving someone like a child is unconditional. Sade loves her man no matter how bad he treats her. The man is a charmer thinking he can get away with anything. That is why he is smiling that same old smile.
this song is great...
I think this song is about her father, who she wants so desperately to love but he always deceives her and her mother (possibly by cheating on her mother) and she is trying to deal with that. Its quite a powerful song really.
yeh, this is one of the best ones off the new cd.
Great Song... THis has to be about cheating... Although I like the idea that this song is deeper... about family... But I try not to link any of her songs to her... Just the story....
i think that this song is about cheating...he cheated on her..he treated her like a stranger while she was loving him...has anyone felt like that? your so in love with someone, they treat you like shit, but u cant stop loving them...his moves were once innocent moves..now they're slick moves...he was in love with her at some point, but he fell out of love and he was just playing her in the end...the story of my life
I believe she is singing about the churches of the world. They have deceived the world. She trusted them, loved And believed them like a child, and all along love was the word. They didn’t teach love like they should’ve. And just like the scribes of the Bible she too wrote a letter after she saw a picture ( vision) God bless Sade.
