(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely

When you're never coming 'round

(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit tired

Of listening to the sound of my tears

(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit nervous

That the best of all the years have gone by

(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified

Then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)

But every now and then I fall apart

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then I fall apart

(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit restless

When I dream of something wild

(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit helpless

I'm lying like a child in your arms

(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit angry

And I know I've got to get out and cry

(Turn around)

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified

Then I see the look in your eyes

(Turn around, bright eyes)

But every now and then I fall apart

(Turn around, bright eyes)

Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

You always wanted to be

As magical and wondrous as you

Nothing that I just wouldn't do
