Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Level 42

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!).

Level 42's, "Lessons In Love"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Listen to me love
When will you ever love?
Listen to me, love
When there's nowhere left to turn
Listen to me, love
Don't let your spirit burn
Listen to me, love
Won't wait 'til you return.
The Real Lyrics:
Lessons in love
When will you ever learn?
Lessons in love
When there's nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
I'll wait 'til you return.
