Have you ever misheard lyrics to a song?

I don't think I ever not misheared a lyrics. At least not from pop music, they all can't speak properly.
If you're talking about the german music I listen, there are no subtitles, not that I would read fast enough fot that anyway.
 
I once heard a song that used the term "Weigh anchor".
I misheard it as wanker...
 
In the song 'Holiday' by Green Day, I used to think he sang 'Donut Cream' not 'Don't agree'
 
I don't think there was ever a song IN MY ENTIRE LIFE where I listened to it OVER and OVER and heard every lyric correctly. I ALWAYS get something wrong no matter how much I've exposed myself to a song. My life has just been looking up lyrics and being amazingly disappointed they're not as cool as the ones I thought I heard.
 
I always heard "you can ask the starbucks lovers"

It seems a lot of people are mishearing the lyrics to this song, what are the actual lyrics?

I used to think the chorus of Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri went like this:

"Who do you think you are, running round, leaving stars, collecting your jar of hearts, and tearing love apart, you're gonna catch a cold, from the eyes inside your soul..."

It's actually scars, and ice. Oops.

There's also a thousand songs I can't make out some of the lyrics at all, I don't mishear them as other words, I just flat out can't tell what they're saying.

The song "Mirrors" By Justin Timberlake. Instead of "With your hand in my hand and a pocketful of soul" I sang "Pocketful of soap" Now that i realize what it really says, i still sing it as soap because I find it hilarious. Now my whole family sings it that way!

Fire Burning, by Sean Kingston.

How the lyrics go:
Somebody call 911, shorty fire burning on the dance floor...

What I heard:
Somebody call 911, shorty found a band-aid on the dance floor...

For a good while I wondered why somebody losing a band-aid was a serious enough event to call 911.

Oh!! I have another! Centuries by Fall Out Boy!

"Here's the frozen proof"

Me: "here's the frozen food"
 
I used to think that Bruno Mars' song Grenade had lyrics like this:
"Should have known you were trouble for the first kiss you had your a$$ wide open, why was it open" BUT THEN I realised it was
"Had your EYES wide open, where were they open"
In my defence, that is something Bruno Mars would probably sing about, but I still find it funny how I made that mistake XD
 
In "sugar" I heard "Suger, your sweet" but it is really "Sugar, yes please" /:

Apparently a lot got that wrong as well-
 
There are a lot of songs, particularly ones from like 4-5 years ago, where I misheard a lot of the lyrics because the singing blended way too much into the instruments.
