"Cause you're a criminal as long as your mine"

Is it weird that I always heard it as "as long as you lie"?

Anyways what are some misheard song lyrics you guys encountered.

From that same song, I always heard "want you in my rear window, baby you're sick" as "want you in my room when your baby is sick".

Anyway, when I was a kid I collected those Now That's What I Call Music CDs, and one of them had My Band by D12 on it. And boy did I mishear a bunch of lyrics from that song. I misheard "and they're all on me like they wanna hold hands" as "and they're all loony like they wanna hold hands". And, in an odd case of mishearing something more profane than the original, I misheard the lyric "it just tears my ass apart to know that you don't know my band" as "tape my ass on porn to know that you don't know my band", which, uhh... o_o I was a perverted child.

Paula Cole's Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? is one I botched the lyrics to badly.
I heard something very different from...
Where is my prairie sun?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?


My childish ears thought she said this,
Where is my fuzzy sock? XD
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

It must be annoying not to have her comfy pair of socks...

In Toto's Africa, I always thought the chorus ("I bless the rains down in Africa") was "I guess the rain's down in Africa".

In Taylor Swift's Out Of The Woods (great song, by the way), I heard "I walked out, I said, 'I'm setting you free'" as "I walked out instead of setting you free". Still makes sense, I think.

When I heard that Katy Perry "don't be afraid to catch feels" song on the radio, I was like, "don't be afraid to catch fish"?? What?? 😂 (Apparently I'm not alone, either: if you type "don't be afraid to catch" in Google, like half the autocompletes are "...fish")

Finally...the first time my mom heard Sam Hunt's Body Like A Back Road on the radio, at the "driving with my eyes closed" part, she said, "did he just say 'driving with my ***hole?!'" 😂😂
