I was tired of being put right down by myself for not being what you thought you had found
Pulled hard in two directions by a desire to learn and my old affections
When I tried to share my world with you
You could not seem to tolerate
The people I had grown to love
They shrank under your scrutiny, became the ones you'd hate
Why did
Everything
Every little thing
Every little thing with you and me had to be so political
Everything
Every little thing
Every little thing with you and me had to be so political
I was feeling a little underwhelmed about
Hangin' round with you and feeling over cautious
Every little word
Every little look
Every little sigh
Every little phrase
Put me deeper in your dog house
You let me out to run across your world
I ran into a wall, you told me I built it
Then you'd reel me in
Ream me out
Pick me up
Push me out again
And then repeat it
Why did...
Everything
Every little thing
Every little thing with you and me had to be so political
Everything
Every little thing
Every little thing with you and me had to be so political
Everything, everything with you and me was...
Too busy tripping on my tongue to try and stand my ground
And I can still see myself crying in your lap asking you
"are you happy with the man you have found?"
I'm grateful for what you did for me
I can see things now I never would have seen
And today I thought about what could have been
But could never be for you and me
Cause
Everything
Every little thing
Every little thing with you and me had to be so political
Everything
Every little thing
Every little thing with you and me had to be so political
Everything
Everything with you and me was so political
Political
