Story about this misheard lyric by: Keisha

My best friend actually thought these were the lyrics up until recently. It made so much sense though, because a noun is really a thing. An adolescent could really think these lyrics were correct. Darn grammar classes.

There are additional Aaliyah misheard stories available.

Repetitive Lyrics:

"Try Again"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
If at first you don't succeed (first you don't succeed)
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust if off and try again, try again
'Cause if at first you don't succeed (at first you don't succeed)
You can dust it off and try again, dust yourself off and try again, try again

Dirty Lyrics:

"More Than A Woman"
The Dirty Lyrics:
Midnight grindin
My heartrates climbin
You go, I go
Cause we share pillows
Taste me, feed me
Theres still no separating
Morning massages
With new bones in your closet
Why They're Dirty:
Well, this a no-brainer - another thinly disguised song about sex. This song was released posthumously. Cheeky and cute - just like Aaliyah. R.I.P.
