Tracks of My Tears by Smokey Robinson.
Actual Lyrics:
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Misheard:
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masterbating
Inside my hope is fading
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

others believed things like this
- I thought my imaginary friend was real and he imagined me
I hope he still believes I existAnon - Actual lyrics: "I've never been your beast of burden"
My lyrics: "I've never been your big suburban"
— Big Suburban - When I first heard Stawberry Fields Forever, I misheard the lyrics as Strawberry Fields For Trevor.— Matt
- I used to think Timmy Mallet was Tony Robinson.— Tom
- i used to believe that if you put a penny on a train tracks that it would derail it — ROSS
- The muppets were REALLY inside the T.V.!Anon
