Sting was performing “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” as early as 1975 and it was recorded in 1976 when Sting, Summers and Copeland were members of the short-lived band Strontium 90 featuring vocalist Mike Howlett.
In 1981, Sting re-worked the song with pianist/composer Jean Roussel, much to...
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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 tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
Every little thing, every little thing
Every, every little thing
Every little, every little, every little
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
That she does is magic
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
She does is magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Ey-oh, yo-oh
Eee-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2 / Outro]
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

In 2000, Revolver asked the band about this track:
Summers: Well, I’m going to get very insulting here. When Sting was off doing the demos in Canada, he used this pianist who was incredibly pushy … He even managed to come down to Montserrat when we were recording … He must have played 12 piano part...
