Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic Lyrics
As a girl I always wished a guy would feel this way about me
you know most people feel the same way
you know most people feel the same way
Mrs D.V., I wonder if a guy has ever felt that way about you. The problem is, it's usually the ONE person we're least attracted to! Always seems to be the way. Have you felt this way about a guy before? It always surprises me that a guy as great looking as Sting has a couple songs where he says he's tongue tied and lonely.
No one has mentioned the absolutley electric EYO-0! EYO-O! EYO-O! my favourite part I'd have to say. I do think it someone he already knows. Beside the thousand rainy days thing i think the umbrella talk is impotant. Hell is directly tied into the rainy days... I think its just another example of how infatuated he is. They are friends theyve been together on thses rainy days, the umbrella is big enough but does she share? (NO!) and yet... Every little thing she does is magic!!
its akin to Shakespere's love sonnet where the object of his love has hair like wire and breath like onions...but he love her in spite of these things. Or maybe because of them too...the whole package "warts and all"
@eddieb A lifelong friend recently revealed to me that the song ends with a seemingly endless stream of my initials, EO. Since age 13 and for decades thereafter, I wore a signet ring inscribed with these initials, which became my nickname among high school friends in the 60s. Just today, I spotted your comment here. I suspect the initials in the lyrics likely refer to a female heartthrob who Sting wanted to specify as the girl in the song.

it's about a guy who REALLY likes a girl and everytime he wants to tell her he's too affraid to say it but everything she does is just magical to him and his fear is of rejection
This song is beautiful, addictive, and all around wonderful.
To me, this song's about a guy who is always rejected, and he can't bring himself to confess his feelings to the girl he likes. Great song to listen to if you're in that boat!
^ same here. i don't think this song needs an explanation... it's simply about loving that one girl who could slap you across the face and make it seem like 'magic'. cheesy, i know. so catchy though.
It's about a guy who's shy around his crush!
I think its about the feelings a guy has for a girl from start to end the fears of starting something
"I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start"
The feelings he has if he loses her: "Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone"..at least thats part of what its about, mostly the feeling a guy would go through for someone else.
I would have to side most with the first poster. Here we have arguably the most perfect song ever written about becoming absolutely infatuated with a girl. Totally happy, though, it is not. "Every little thing she does is magic" is merely an observation from a far distance, he doesn't totally know her and can't truly connect ("[My silent fears have gripped me"). Ultimately he's left to ask why he "must ... always be alone."
Every guy has had these feelings before. The thought of her studying, or working, or brushing her just absolutely kills you and then the inevitable happens: either reality sets in or the breakup occurs. Sting hopes to avoid that here, consciously or not. He doesn't want to make the phone call. It's tragic, and it's true. Imagining the wedding is a lot more fun that actually confessing your feelings and getting rejected. Irregardless, it's what one has to do. At some point, we all "end[...] up getting wet."
