I used to mishear the Eric Clapton song "Cocaine". Listen how the meaning changes for the want of just one word: "If you want to hang out, you've got to take her out, okay/ If you want to get down, down on the ground, okay/ She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie... okay.
I knew about sex by then, so I thought it was about a girl, and that it was okay with her daddy to date her because "she don't lie".
