Michael Buble, "Sway"
Misheard Lyrics:
When marimbas start to play
Hold me close, make me swear
[Later]
When you dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, swear with me.
Hold me close, make me swear
[Later]
When you dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, swear with me.
Original Lyrics:
When marimbas start to play
Hold me close, make me sway
[Later]
When you dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me.
Hold me close, make me sway
[Later]
When you dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me.
All of his sway's sound very much like swear. Maybe it has to do with him being Canadian?
