Every Little Thing

By John T. Marck

Easily one of the most impressive songs on this album, it was written by Paul for his girlfriend Jane Asher, in the same vein as his song "Things We Said Today." It's theme tells of a lucky guy whose girlfriend loves him so much she will do anything for him. As it turned out, the attitude conveyed in this song was one of the major reasons that he and Jane broke up. The attitude herein, and that of Paul at the time, was that Jane's life fulfillment was in serving him. However, one of Jane's complaint's to Paul was that she wanted her own career, and it was not enough for her to be the girlfriend of one of the world's most desirable pop idols. Jane did not want to be known as being merely his girlfriend, but as the accomplished actress she was. Ironically, to me, the only reason we in America ever knew her name was because of her relationship with Paul. Although Jane was a very well-known actress in England and perhaps Europe at this time, she, to my knowledge, never made it as an actress in America. Sort of a strange irony, in that she didn't want to be known as just his girlfriend, yet now, as far as I know, when I think of Jane Asher, I think of two things; She was Paul's girlfriend in the mid-sixties, and/or she is the sister of Peter Asher, or Peter and Gordon fame. Oh well... It was recorded on September 30, 1964.

When I'm walking beside her, people tell me I'm lucky

yes, I know I'm a lucky guy, I remember the first time I was lonely without her, can't stop thinking about her now

every little thing she does, she does for me, yeah

and you know the things she does, she does for me, woo

when I'm with her I'm happy, just to know that she loves me

yes, I know that she loves me now, there is one thing I'm sure of

I will love her forever, for I know love will never die

Every little thing she does, she does for me, yeah and you know the things she does, she does for me, woo

every little thing she does, she does for me, yeah and you know the things she does, she does for me, woo

every little thing, every little thing
