Wait...that isn't what the lyrics say?

I Must Have Misheard You

I am awful with lyrics. Let me rephrase that: I am awful at understanding what people say in songs. If I know lyrics, I will know them until I die. Today I was listening to a song and after looking up the lyrics, realized that they were not what I thought they were. I decided to compile a small sample list of some of my favorite misheard lyrics of mine. Some of these I misheard the artist and some of them were just words I made up to fill space. Either way, they are entertaining. Enjoy!

My Lyric: “Rocky chews stellar shoes.”

3. “Breaking Free” – High School Musical

My Lyric: “More than you, more than me. Not a want, but a be.”

4. “Sit Still, Look Pretty” – Daya

5. “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” – Shania Twain

Actual Lyric: “Ain’t gonna act politically correct.”

My Lyric: “Ain’t gonna have no little people breakin’.”

6. "Ain’t It Fun” – Paramore

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
