You Have No Idea Lyrics

You have no idea how much I love you
What I would do for your natural touch
And you have no idea just how I'd hold you
When I am woken from a dream, something bad had happened to us

But I would talk my mouth off
If I thought, oh yes, baby
It would glue you forever to me

And I've worn out my pride
And I've torn at the sky
And I've beaten back the devil
With one heathenist sigh

And I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive
I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive

You have no idea how much it moves me
Just staring deeply into your green eyes
And you have no idea just how completely I adore you
You would be so surprised

But I would talk my mouth off
If I thought, oh yes, baby
It would glue you forever to me

And I've worn out my pride
And I've torn at the sky
And I've beaten back the devil
With one heathenist sigh

And I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive
I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive
I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive

You have no idea how much I love you 
What I would do for your natural touch 
And you have no idea just how I'd hold you 
When I am woken from a dream, something bad had happened to us

But I would talk my mouth off 
If I thought, oh yes, baby 
It would glue you forever to me

And I've worn out my pride 
And I've torn at the sky 
And I've beaten back the devil 
With one heathenist sigh

And I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive 
I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive

You have no idea how much it moves me 
Just staring deeply into your green eyes 
And you have no idea just how completely I adore you 
You would be so surprised

But I would talk my mouth off 
If I thought, oh yes, baby 
It would glue you forever to me

And I've worn out my pride 
And I've torn at the sky 
And I've beaten back the devil 
With one heathenist sigh

And I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive 
I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive 
I'd never let anyone harm you while I'm alive

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.
