Lyrics

I saved some loose change in my soda can
It was less than nothin,' but hey, I was doin' the best I can
Tryin' to build a better life for me n' my daughter
Tired of survivin' on dreams and water, but most of all
I was tired of this life with no love

And there you were on my check out line
In your cashmere suit and your shoes that shine
Minus your weddin' band,
Prob'ly thinkin'
A girl like me- should love to know
A man like you

Well predators they love to prey
The hunt's the best part of their day:
Uh huh uh huh....
Oh I'll betch'ya,
I looked vulnerable

YOU HAVE NO IDEA
What it's like, or
How if feels,
When it's one a.m. and I'm alone again
And my kid's gone hungry and I don't know when
Hard times'll end...
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
To you it's fun-
Make-believe
Find some pretty secret to hide up your sleeve-
And with all you have- Why'd you need
To take a piece of me?
YOU HAVE NO IDEA

Never saw the inside of no limousine
Or heard of menus so nice, they didn't mention prices
Never thought a man like you- could want me so badly
Never knew this heart- could love someone so madly-oh but most of all
My child- could maybe have a daddy...

Well that ending was not to be
For a foolish dreamer girl- like me-
You just told me
That you thought I knew...
Chorus

Yeah you've got your own problems too,
But the load is so much lighter when someone shares the burden
There's no one home to mend my wounds,
Now more than ever, and thanks to you-
Since I'm hurt I'll keep right on hurtin'...

And
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
What it's like, or
How if feels,
'Cause it's one a.m. and I'm alone again
And my kid is crying and I don't know when
Hard times'll end...
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
To you it's fun-
Make-believe
Next pretty secret to hide up your sleeve-
Hey with all you have- Why'd you need
To take a piece of me?
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
