Every Time He Comes Around Songtext

von Minnie Riperton

(M. Riperton, R. Rudolph)

Every time he comes around, I feel like I'm on fire
When he looks into my eyes and sees down to my soul
It's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
How am I to know?

Now I ain't looking for a man to hold me for an hour
I ain't looking for a man to love me for a day
Every time he comes around, I get the funny feeling
What I'm looking for don't matter anyway
Hey, it don't matter anyway

'Cause every since I was a child
I dreamed about my baby's smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

'Cause every time he comes around, I feel like I'm on fire
When he whispers in my ear, I start to lose control
Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
How am I to know?

'Cause every since I was a child
I dreamed about my baby's smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with hiim in the worst darn way

'Cause every time he comes around, I feel like I'm on fire
Mmmm, I lose control
Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
