Every Little Thing Lyrics

When I'm walking behind 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
Yes, I'm 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, oh
When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me now
There is one thing I am 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, oh
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, oh

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Why make a post like that...completely meaningless.

This song is about an undieing love for another being. It is realizing you love someone; the way you think about them all the time and are lonely when they are not around. Realizing the things you do are for eachother.

A silly love song from the pre-Dylan influence years. It's the type of early love song Lennon later disdained but was so superlative at composing. What makes it usual (aside from the timpani) is the way it modulates down on the word "thing." Even though the words are about celebrating the relationship, it actually gives the song a tinge of sadness. Maybe her slavish devotion is a bit smothering? George's 12 string is also great on this.
