Story about this misheard lyric by: Samantha After a few weeks of listening to Rick's cds, my daughters were all singing to the lyrics. I noticed my teen was missing this one lyric. I asked her about it one evening when my mom was over. Even my mom thought he was saying 'someone I've been hearing of.' I told them no, the word he is saying is Don Juan. I had to play it back a few times for them to hear it. I half expected my mom to miss this but not my teenager. |

Insincere Lyrics:
"Jessie's Girl"
The Insincere Lyrics: I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot.
Why They're Insincere: Well, maybe if Rick had the b*lls to tell her that, he would know if the point was moot or not. As Phoebe of 'Friends' would say, 'Stop being so testosterony!'

The Misrhymed Lyrics: You know I feel so dirty when they start talkin’ cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot Why They're Misrhymed: Not only do 'cute' and 'moot' not rhyme, these two lines are just plain bad lyrics.
