Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody.
For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.
This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.
Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not
by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see
misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and
misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
Your chest keeps getting bigger
I wanna spend the rest of my life
Staring at your thighs, forever and ever.
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side, forever and ever.
The Story: I was at my best friend's homecoming dance, and they played 'Amazed' by Lonestar as the final song. All of a sudden she turned to me and said 'Oh my gosh...it sounded like he just said 'your chest keeps getting bigger!'' It was funny. - Submitted by: Kristin
Maybe I'm amazed by you
Baby I'm amazed by you
The Story: When I remembered hearing the Paul McCartney song, it really sounded like "Baby I'm Amazed", but it was really "Maybe I'm Amazed". There has therefore been confusion between the Paul McCartney song and the Lonestar song. - Submitted by: Cody Finke

The Story: My girlfriend and I were driving on our way to Savannah, and she asked me if those were the lyrics. What made the whole thing funny is, SHE KNEW the real lyrics, and talked herself out of them in favor of this little gem. She got to laughing so hard, she almost wrecked the car. To this day, when I'm picking on her, I sing her the "special" lyrics to this song. - Submitted by: Chris

The Story: My dad and I had a bet about what the lyric was, and he won! So now I owe him $5.00!! - Submitted by: Stefanie Thomas

You walked in, I'm a thissacourette.
You walked in, I'm a physical wreck.
The Story: Three years I tried to figure out what a thissacourette might be. By the time I figured it out, I was having too much fun with my own. I still sing it this way. I saw Lonestar in concert last month and I sang my version aloud when they were playing the song. Yes, I got some strange looks, but who cares! - Submitted by: Rainbow Pickle
