Every Little Thing (He) Does Is Magic Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I tried before to tell him
Of the feelings I have for him in my heart
Every time that I come near him
I just lose my nerve like I've done from the start

[Chorus]
'Cause every little thing he does is magic
Every thing he does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for him goes on

[Verse 2]
Do I have to tell the story
Of the thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me who ends up getting wet

[Chorus]
'Cause every little thing he does is magic
Everything he does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for him goes on

[Bridge]
I resolved to call him up
A thousand times a day
And ask him if he'll marry me
In some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
[Chorus]
Every little thing he does is magic
Everything he does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for him goes on
And every little thing he does is magic
Everything he does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for him goes on

[Outro]
Goes on
It goes on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
