Guess the Lyric Mix Up

While watching The Voice on Hulu the other night, I learned something new. I’ve been mixing up the lyrics to “Kiss from a Rose” forever and I never would have known without subtitles. Can you guess the lyric mix up?

I first heard this song in high school and I’ve been singing “Kiss from a rose on the grave” since 1994. Apparently, the real lyrics are “Kiss from a rose on the gray.” This actually doesn’t make any more sense to me, but it did make me wonder what other songs we’ve been singing wrong.

I visited the The Inquisitive Mom Facebook page and decided to ask readers for their favorite song mix-ups. The list ended up being  hilarious and one of my all-time favorite threads. I especially love how many lyrics are in the song title, but we still get them wrong! I’ve brought many of the mix ups  here and the question now is…
