Misheard Lyrics

I was looking through a book that my cousin gave me before she left for Alaska. The book title is “Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy and Other Misheard Lyrics” by Gavin Edwards. I’m sure that we all have interpreted lyrics differently than what they are really saying. These are pretty amusing so I thought I’d share some of my favorite funny ones with you in this format:
