I Admire You Lyrics

My natural enemies they don't want me to go on loving you
I'm non-plussed
Now I'm past caring for what they have to say
I see things your way
Because I must
Because I admire you
Because I desire you
Because I require you
For ever, for everyone
Just keep this paradise between you and me
An excellent mystery, to consume
And rain is unremembered here
Nothing else to reverse
For better, for worse
We're immune
Because I admire you
Because I desire you
Because I require you
For ever, for everyone
This is what I'm up against
When I am with you
It's driving me to distraction
I must be loving you
To the very edge
Of my very own satisfaction
Because I admire you
Because I desire you
Because I require you
For ever, for everyone
I admire you
I have done all along
I desire you for ever and everyone

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.
