    I'll be your dragon shoulder.
    I'll be love's silver side.
    I'll be better when I'm older.
    I'll be the greatest man of your life.

    Artist: Edwin McCain
    Real Lyric: I'll be your crying shoulder.I'll be love's suicide.I'll be better when I'm older.I'll be the greatest fan of your life.



    The story:

    I think everyone mishears the lyrics to this song, even if they don't realize it. (I guess they also misidentify the artist, too; Edwin McCain wrote and sang it first. The Goo Goo Dolls covered the song more recently).

    This song was out when I was in elementary school, so I guess at that age it didn't occur to me that a song about a dragon's shoulder would be weird. Even now as an adult I like the imagery; a dragon's shoulder has got to be pretty strong, right? I also prefer "love's silver side" because it sounds so much more positive (and makes more sense, honestly) than "suicide." Additionally "greatest man of your life" sounds stronger than "fan." So I still usually sing it my way-- mostly because I usually forget which is actually the right way.
