About Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" is a song by British rock group The Police from their fourth album, Ghost in the Machine. The song, notable for featuring a pianist (uncommon in Police songs), dates back to a demo recorded in the house of Mike Howlett in the fall of 1976. It was also a hit single that reached the top of the charts in the United Kingdom (topping its predecessor, "Invisible Sun") in November 1981 and hit No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart that same year, kept from further chart movement by Foreigner's #2 smash "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and Olivia Newton-John's #1 smash "Physical".

Though I've tried before to tell her 
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start
 
Every little thing she does is magic 
Everything she do just turns me on 
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
 
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet.
 
Every little thing she does is magic 
Everything she do just turns me on 
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
 
I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day.
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way.
But my silent fears have gripped me long before I reach the phone
Long before my time has tripped me must I always be alone
 
Every little thing she does is magic 
Everything she do just turns me on 
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic 
Everything she do just turns me on 
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Every little thing, every little thing, every little thing, every little thing
Every little, every little, ever little, every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does

Beo, beo, beo, beo, beo, beo, beo, beo
Beo, beo, beo, beo, beo, beo, beo, beo

Every little thing 
Every little thing 
Every little thing
She do is
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic

Hey oh yo oh
Beo

Ah
Thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me that ends getting wet
