Which song lyrics did you get wrong as a kid?

[Mikey]

Locomotive Breath - "you know he could slow down"

[madmarva]

Billy Squire's "My Kind of Lover." I thought he was singing My Candelabra. I guessed the song was about Liberace.

[EmergencyIan]

I used to think that Billy Joel was singing: She's a wazy woman to me. (instead of: she's always a woman to me)

In the Chicago song "Hard To Say I'm Sorry," I thought that Peter Cetera was singing: After all the hooey we've been through, I will make it up to you. (he was singing: After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you.)

Oh Yeah... Peter Cetera sings that line so funny. I never did know what he was trying to sing. How does he turn the word "we" into a three syllable word....

[Mikey]

In the song, Don't Pull Your Love Out on Me Baby ......... I used to think he said, "cry four hundred years"

[SKotK]

That's hilarious...I knew it was wrong, but I always heard the same thing!

[nazgul]

The theme for Flashdance....instead of "take your passion and make it happen" I thought it was "take your pants down, and make it happen".......I thought it was the dirtiest song ever.....

[Nostalgiabuff]

Blinded by the light... Wrapped up like a ****** and the runner in the night.

Ha... The censor blocked the word "doooosh".

LOL, that is always what I thought it said too....

[Nostalgiabuff]

Hendrix Excuse me, while I kiss this guy...(excuse me while I kiss the sky)

He really does sing it funny, but such a great and distinctive voice.

[Boy_Wonder_1978]

I dare not tell you what lyrics I used to get wrong. I used to hear nonsense words that don't even exist, lol.
ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man is one that springs to mind. I can't spell what I used to hear, let alone say what.

[Mr.Marion]

In the song, Don't Pull Your Love Out on Me Baby ......... I used to think he said, "cry four hundred years"

Yep, a very strangely arranged song.

Suffragette City by David Bowie

“This mellow fat chick just put my spine out of place” Actual lyric: “This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place”

Rock the Casbah, Had lot of words I didn't know as a kid.
