Minnie Riperton - Every Time He Comes Around lyrics

(M. Riperton R. Rudolph)

Everytime 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 lookin' for a man to hold me for an hour

I ain't lookin' for a man to love me for a day

Every time he comes around I get the funny feelin'

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 him 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
