Hello-hello! I’m gonna tell you about the idiom ‘I DON’T HAVE A CLUE’.

I don’t have a clue means – I don’t have any idea, I don’t know why it happened! 

You also can use it in questions ‘ -Do you have any clue why it happened? – No, I don’t have a clue!’

Let me give you some examples:

‘– Do you know why this accident happened? –I don’t have a clue’

‘– Do you know why she married him? He’s so ugly! – I don’t have a clue! Who knows? Maybe he’s rich.

‘– Why did you choose Chinese? – I don’t have a clue! I don’t know what I was thinking back then’

See you next time! Bye-bye!

 

‘But if you don’t have a clue

Then I won’t let you know

We’re over and through

Now it’s time for you to go

And I won’t, I won’t cry for you no more

But you don’t have a clue’
