i used to think the lyrics to aretha franklins Respect went "R-e-s-p-e-c-t take out the e-c-t" the real words are "r-e-s-p-e-c-t take care, TBC." Respect without the ect is resp, and i was going around like, "what's resp?" and i finally cleared that up by looking it up on google.
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this

- I used to believe that all languages were just jiberish and I asked my mom why they didn't use real words.Anon

- Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"
— Big Suburban - when I was little, I used to think that everyone was a child but someone invented adults to take care of us.— chocolate
