"Something Happens When You Touch Me"

In "Something Happens When You Touch Me," both "ev'rything"s in the line "Just say the word, and I'll drop ev'rything, ev'rything" are sung to descending groups of notes (I think they're F E C and A G E, with a harmony above that singing A G E and C Bb G).  Musically, then, "ev'rything" is being "drop[t]" in terms of pitch.
