Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"Sugar, Sugar"
Misheard Lyrics:
I just can't believe the love I get for loving you
(I just can't believe it's true).
Original Lyrics:
I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you
(I just can't believe it's true).

Story about this misheard lyric by: Corinne Auterlehr

I thought I pretty much knew this song. Then I went to an exercise class where it was among the songs playing on the sound system. When it came to the first line above, all I could hear of it was as the misheard version I've cited. I was baffled as to what the real lyrics to that line were. So I tried to remember my mishearing until I got home and could a lyrics site. When I found the real lyrics of that line, They sort or kind of "rang a bell".
