Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Bruno Mars

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
The Story: When this song first came out and I'd hear it on the radio, which was all the time, it drove me crazy because I swore it said "do I like cocaine?" and I eventually looked up the lyrics online. - Submitted by: Amith

Bruno Mars', "Just the Way You Are"
The Misheard Lyrics:
When I see your face
There's not a thing I would shake
'Cause you've got braces
But it's just the way you are
And when you smile
The world stops scared for a while
'Cause you've got braces
But it's the way you are.
The Real Lyrics:
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The Story: My friend told me she was getting braces and on the way home this song was on and well.... say no more. - Submitted by: Lulza
