music & lyrics

i listen to songs on repeat.
for days.
sometimes weeks.
why?
two reasons.
1. i obsess easily. and once i'm hooked, i'm hooked for a while. this applies to songs. if i like you, i will listen to you. a lot.
2. to learn the lyrics. and sometime i need excessive help in this area.
in a few cases, it has taken me years to discover the true lyrics. but that's okay. if it weren't for repeat, i wouldn't know that my favorite artists were singing:

1. slammin' SCREEN door. NOT slammin' GREEN door.
2. i wanna show all my haters love. NOT i wanna show all that my hair is long.
3. the first date, man i didn't kiss her and i should have. NOT the first eight men didn't kiss her and they should have.
4. whatever happened to amelia earhart. NOT whatever happened to come give me a bear hug.
5. my feet in the water. NOT i pee in the water.

please. do not judge. you know you've sung the wrong lyrics from time to time, too. and if you haven't, well then wow. just...wow.
