Every Time He Comes Around

Minnie Riperton


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
