Story about this misheard lyric by: Ken Bagnall

For about five years, this song puzzled me. What the h*** did it mean? And why would anyone in their right mind want to write a song about a moving tree?

Better Lyrics:
I love every movement.

There's nothing I would change.

She's much too nice to rearrange.
Original Lyrics:
I love every movement.

There's nothing I would change.

She doesn't need improvement.

She's much too nice to rearrange.

Upbeat Songs With Depressing Lyrics:

"It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'"
The Lyrics:
I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing I could hold you tight.
Life seems so empty since you went away.
And the pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my lonely tears instead,
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day.
Every hour you're away, I feel so lonely.
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
Why:
I've always loved this song for its glorious melody that could fit any number of uplifting messages. But the lyrics here are instead the lament on one saying "I don't think I can't go on" because of his grief and loneliness over a lost love.
