Chicago, "Baby What a Big Surprise"
Misheard Lyrics:
I thought that you were only faking me
And like before, my heart was taken in
...
But here today your song has changed my mind
...
Shooby dooby wants to be alone
It was a little more than I could take
Oh whoa oh who
And you can't mistake
Ooh ooh
Shooby dooby want me in the morning
...
Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now with love it matters anyway
And like before, my heart was taken in
...
But here today your song has changed my mind
...
Shooby dooby wants to be alone
It was a little more than I could take
Oh whoa oh who
And you can't mistake
Ooh ooh
Shooby dooby want me in the morning
...
Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now with love it matters anyway
Original Lyrics:
I thought that you were only faking it
And like before, my heart was taking it
...
But here today you've softly changed my mind
...
(Shooby dooby wah)
Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Oh whoa oh whoa
Then you came to stay
Ooh ooh
(Shooby dooby wah)
Hold me in the morning
...
Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway
And like before, my heart was taking it
...
But here today you've softly changed my mind
...
(Shooby dooby wah)
Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Oh whoa oh whoa
Then you came to stay
Ooh ooh
(Shooby dooby wah)
Hold me in the morning
...
Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway
I prefer my lyrics, where the background vocals become the singer's pet name for his lady love! I think 'softly changed my mind' is a little wimpy - even for Cetera. In my world, his girl is a siren singing to him, then being cool to him, then loving him (I think)!
