Paul and Paula

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!).

Paul and Paula's, "Hey, Paula"

The Misheard Lyrics:

True love means planning a lie for two
or
True love means planning a life or two

The Real Lyrics:

True love means planning a life for two

The Story: I distinctly remember pondering both of the above 'mishearings' and thinking how easily it could sound that way. Of course, since neither fits the spirit of the song, one would right away question such a mishearing. But since those and the real lyrics sound so nearly the same, it's hardly surprising that those mishearings popped into my mind at times with humorous effects. - Submitted by: Robert Jones
