“Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” is a song by British rock group The Police from their album Ghost in the Machine. It was also a hit single that reached the top of the charts in the United Kingdom in November 1981 and hit number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart that same year.

Although recorded in 1981, Sting wrote the song as early as 1976. An early (1977) demo of the song can be heard on the Strontium 90 album Strontium 90: Police Academy. The piano part was added by session keyboardist Jean Roussel, whom Sting invited to play on the track against the wishes of his bandmates Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland.
Sting reprised the lyrics of the second verse to the end of the song “O My God” issued on the bands next album. These lyrics were repeated once more in “Seven Days” on Stings solo album Ten Summoners Tales.
“Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
Its a big enough umbrella
But its always me that ends up getting wet.”

Sting – bass guitar, lead and backing vocals
