Misheard Lyrics

I'm so illiterate with song lyrics, I just keep singing my version of the lyrics and read the real ones like a year later and realise how wrong I was.

I think that's what some online lyrics uploaders do. I found some hilarious ones for Gabriella Cilmi's Love Me Cos You Want To where they were down as

"so play by the rules and droplets of skies"

when it's really:

"so play by the rules and drop the disguise"

The former doesn't even make sense!!

There was another line of

"give me something to hold on to cos they're the one's who're wasting our time"

but really it's "give me something to hold on to cos otherwise you're wasting our time".

Some people are a bit silly!

Ha ha ha, that's why I never post lyrics!

I always laugh at interpretations of Beware by the Sugababes, they're hilarious!

Someone thought it was "laugh in the face clef better damager stake your life" when it was really "laugh in the face of clear and present danger stake your life"

And "roman darkness, don't wait your brawl wasting with us, and come winter, go and trappable the thin lights" instead of "roam in darkness, you break your bread with sinners, and come winter, go on and tread the thin ice".

I actually fail to see how they got that lyric out, it would have been harder to interpret that lyric than it was to actually work out the real one!

For about 10 years thought the Spice Girls were saying "If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get rid of my friends" in Wannabe.

They're not? Blimey, until I read this post I figured they either weren't sold on the whole "friendship never ends" thing, or terribly enthusiastic about the prospect of eternal celibacy.

I thought for so long that Katy Perry was saying "Boy, your an idiot" in E.T until I got the album and alien made much more sense.

I still swear Cheryl sings "I could drown in syphilis" in 'Don't Talk About This Love'.

OH MY GO-D! It actually has to be!!
 
"Sex in the air, I don't care, I love this melody"

instead of

"Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it"

in Rihanna's "S&M".
 
In Natalia Kills' Mirrors (going by the acoustic version):

"Squeeze hard, don't let go" is actually "Squeeze hard, hold that pose" and "The mirror's gonna fall tonight" is actually "The mirrors gonna fuck tonight"?
 
That makes much more sense but it really sounds like "ck" instead of "g." It could be my hearing that's the problem, haha!
 
Oh my god! I have spent the last few years thinking the line was
'news week you would say that Dave look at Mutya'!
I thought it was a reference to Dave Berry, and what an amazing lyric that was! I'm so disappointed now!

I was listening to Gotta Be You by Sugababes and I don't understand one word of what Amelle/Mutya are singing!

I'm not making this up
To clear mistakes up
You're the one to blow it up
Saying I'm doing too much
Why he kept that safe key
Look at how you're playing me
Betraying me
And this image of what you made me
And now you're talking this stuff
Think are getting desperate
Newsweek, you would day to day look at Mutya (this slut in the Amelle version)
You can't ever even really know me
Cos my ass is the only thing you'll see
 
"It's getting so lonely in cyber space" Oops. It's actually "It's getting so lonely inside this bed". I prefer my misheard lyrics though haha.
 
In I Am Not a Robot by Marina & the Diamonds, where she says "but inside you're just a little baby", I thought she said "but inside it's just your little pee-pee". It was kind of awkrawrd.
