I Just Had to Hear Your Voice Lyrics

I know you thought it best
That we spend a little time apart
But one night without you
Is so much for my heart
I know I promised not to call
Sorry, but I didn't have a choice
I just had to hear your voice
Oh, please don't be mad at me
'Cause I really did the best I could
Not to dial your number
But I didn't do much good
Hung up the phone so many times
'Til I really didn't have a choice
I just had to hear your voice
I had to know that you're okay
I couldn't get to sleep this way
And I had to hear you say hello
I had to
Because I love you so...
I know you thought it best
That we spend a little time apart
But I had to hear your voice
Though I know is just wasn't right
I just had to hear your sweet voice

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
