Do you know what I saw
When walking down the lane
I saw a giant tadpole
And a lion with a silver mane
They walked together hands entwined
And look into their eyes
Never such love I had seen before
But I wondered are they wise
So different were the sizes
One was big and fat
And the other so small as you can guess
That on the lions ear she sat
The moral of this story
Even when in love you fall
Make sure you pick a partner
Who is not too big or small

When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind. When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply. When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around. When a GIRL answers " I'm fine " after a few seconds ... she is not at all fine.
When a GIRL stares at you ... she is wondering why you are lying. When a GIRL lays on your chest ... she is wishing for you to be hers forever. When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered. When a GIRL says " I love you " ... she means it. When a GIRL says " I miss you " ... no one in this world can miss you more than that.
Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person .... Find a guy ... who calls you beautiful instead of hot. who calls you back when you hang up on him. who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who ... kisses your forehead. Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats. Who holds your hand in front of his friends. Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!! "

Some songs have clear lyrics, some songs have completely unintelligible lyrics, but in some songs it is also easy to hear one thing when they actually sing something else. These misheard lyrics are called "mondegreens", after the term was coined in 1954. Sylvia Wright wrote an article about an old Scottish ballad she had misheard as a child.

The lyrics sounded like:

They had slain the Earl of Murray,
And Lady Mondegreen.

It sounded like a song about a Lord and Lady who were killed, but in reality, the words are actually:

They had slain the Earl of Murray,
And laid him on the green.

next mondegreens

After one's own heart
well-liked for agreeing with one's own feelings, interests and ideas
My new boss loves to go fishing every weekend. He is a man after my own heart.

At heart
In spite of, in reality
He seems to be very angry all the time but at heart he is a very gentle person.

Break one's heart
Make very sad or helpless
It broke my heart to see the woman fall down during the race after she had tried so hard.
