Every Little Thing I Say I Do Lyrics
Oh don't you know that in my life
I get up so high
Just to get insecure?
And it's always been
Been all the same things since
I took that medicine
Of counting up every score
[Chorus]
Yet, every little thing I say I do
Every little thing I say I do
Every little thing I say I do
Do it all for you
And every little word I say I mean
Every little word I say I mean
Every little word I say I mean
Mean it completely
[Verse 2]
And alright
Sometimes I get up at night
To totalize every answer
Of every thought in your mind
It's not nice
And sometimes
I'm so overwhelmingly
Caught in a dichotomy
Of what I said and what I really mean
It seems to me
That every little thing I say I do
Every little thing I say I do
Every little thing I say I do
Do it all for you
And every little word I say I mean
Every little word I say I mean
Every little word I say I mean
Mean it completely, woo!
[Bridge]
I get so down, down on myself
I get so do-o-own
[Chorus]
Yet, every little thing I say I do
Every little thing I say I do
Every little thing I say I do
I do it all, do it all, I do it
And every little word I say I mean
Every little word I say I mean
Every little word I say I mean
I mean it completely
[Post-Chorus]
Do it all, do it all for you
Every little thing I say that I do
Do it all, do it all, do it all, do it all
Do it all for you

’Every Little Thing I Say I Do’ is a song where I’m poking fun at my perfectionism and my desire for control. It’s a pretty ridiculous claim –that I not only do everything perfectly, but also for your benefit – but that’s the point. It’s a toxic and impossible way of being, yet this is the mode I unfortunately tend to be running from in my little homosapien brain. I write songs as a way to better understand myself, and I tend to be fairly harsh sometimes. Once a song is done though, I always feel like I grew up a little bit, and that I was able to see a more realistic glimpse of myself from the outside.
My hope is that the same effect happens for listeners, too. I hope to make songs that help people self-reflect and become nicer, because I surely always need to. They can totally just dance to the song too, though. It’s pretty damn catchy.
