Lyrics Every Time He Comes Around (Extended Version) - Minnie Riperton

Every time 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
And I ain't lookin' for a man to hold me for a day
Every time he comes around, I get a funny feeling
What I'm looking for don't matter anyway

It don't matter anyway, no

'Cause ever 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 ever 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
I lose control
It's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love I need to make my spirit whole
