Story about this misheard lyric by: Kay

My mother used to sing this and we'd all be snickering. No one wanted to correct her-it was too funny.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"On My Own"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

Now I know what lovin' you costs
Now we're up to talking divorce

Why They're Misrhymed:

Actually, it's a duet between Patti and a male singer, the latter of which sings these lines. At least he didn't try to force 'costs' to rhyme with 'divorce', which would have been quite difficult to say the least.
