When I was younger (in the early 90's) I listened a lot to Guns n' Roses. In their song Paradise City I was sure that the chorus went "Take me down to the Paradise City, where the beer is free and the girls are pretty."
To my grave disappointment it was the, in my opinon, lamer "where the grass is green and the girls are pretty". My version just seems to be more Rock n' Roll.

When I was in Jr. High (in the late 80's) there was this song by Debbie Deb called "Lookout Weekend". I was bustin' a move and dancing in the living room one day then my Mom pulled the plug on the radio 'cause she was so annoyed. Just as she did that I belted out "Look out we can cuss-here I come!! Because we can twirl-made for fun!"
Well, she just about died laughing and said the real lyrics were "Lookout weekend cause, here I come
Because weekends were, made for fun!" She always had a way of bursting my bubble.

For years my sister (who is now 22) thought the words to the Jimmy Barnes song "Cheap wine and a 3 day growth" were actually "She's fine with her 3 legged goat". She only realised a few months ago.

When Madonna sang "let the choir sing" in "Like a Prayer", I thought she was singing "love by proxy"

I was listening to my daughter sing along with a song that included the line "and the memories go on and on" but she was singing "and your mammaries go on and on" which was really a lot funnier...

i was viciously mocked throughout my childhood by my brother and sisters when they found out that i was convinced that 'Unchained Melody' contained the lyrics "I fumble for your torch" instead of "i hunger for your touch". I perhaps shouldnt have argued but IT MADE SENSE.

I used to believe that Madonna's Papa don't preach was pop-a-long priest

I used to think the Neil Diamond song "Forever in Blue Jeans" was actually him singing about The Reverend Blue Jeans and I assumed it was about a man of the cloth being cool and appealing to the younger generation. Only realised the real song title and lyrics a few years ago. My dad and I prefer my version and always change the song as we sing along.

I used to think that bout a couple years ago the song by matchbox 20 " its 3am I must be lonely" said "its 3 am I must be horny" lol

my boss used to think Will Smiths "Gettin jiggy with it" was "Give me chicken with it"

not my belief, but my college roomate thought "Glorified Version of a Pellet Gun" was "all ten versions of a pelican"-always found that amusing.

I thought that the lyrics for 'Tequila' by Terrorvision were actually 'I want to kill her, it makes me happy..' and I preferred the song when I thought that! I was in my twenties though, so does this count?

Don't actually know the name of the song - but the lyrics "wide eyed and legless" escaped me for years. I though the guy was singing "my diamond necklace" for years before I realised my mistake!

I still hear in the Kate Bush song 'Strange Phenomenon' the words "they made me regurgitate cheese food" for the actual lyrics "they made me read Gurdjieff and Jesus"
I used to beleive the lyrics to outcast's miss jackson went "Im sorry miss Jackson, I never meant to make your doctor cry" (it is actually "I never ment to make your daughter cry")

Oldies Song Peggy Sue. I used to think that he was talking about how much he loves his "Baggy Suit".

I used to think the lyrics to "Venus" were "I'm your fidas, I'm your fire, and George 'n sire" instead of the actual lyrics which are "I'm your Venus, I'm you fire, at your desire."

i thought the line from Grease which goes "I've got chills, they're multiplying, and im loosing control" went "i've got cheeeese, they're multiplying, and im blue said the troll"
wish i hadnt sung that in the playground when i was little...
in the song 'Push It' by Salt & Peppa, when they sang "p push it real good"i used to think it went "poor pussy realgood", and so i hated it, cos i thought it was about someone being horrible to a cat named Realgood. i still sing it my way though.
