another misunderstood lyric in the first night
We were chillin' watching your T.V. I felt it was comin' the closer that you got to me Wanted to touch you, wanted to kiss you And some how in one night, discover I love you Felt so right, but it felt so wrong And look how we're carryin' on Tryin' to say things to get me to stay But my watch is telling me it's getting to late, I'm thinkin'...
I HEARD
But my wife is telling me it's getting too late

I can't think of any more lyrics I've misunderstood at the moment, but did come across this funny YouTube video on the subject:

Not my own misheard lyrics, but Joan Baez got a lot of the lyrics wrong to The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down by the Band.
The funniest one is probably the lyric of Robert E. Lee riding by and I guess she thought it was "there goes the [sic] Robert E. Lee" like it was a steamroller.

Not misunderstood lyrics, but a whole song...for years after it first came out, I thought Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" was an answer song to the previous year's "Jesse" by Carly Simon. Her song was about a woman who went back with an old lover despite her friends' warnings and vowed to be his doormat: "I will cut fresh flowers for you...keep the wine cold for you...Put on cologne/Wait by the phone for you...." Springfield's song responded with "Where can I find a woman like that?" But his song apparently had nothing to do with Simon's song.
I just found this thread... I always thought Virgil's wife was watching a steamboat, the "Robert E. Lee," float by. I was just singing this last week, too.

One of the very first things I checked o the internet was the lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire". I sure sounded like he said "Santurnsmell-a good guy" and "Vengeance on the Choco" instead of "Santayana Goodbye" and "Belgians in the Congo".

These are ones I actually thought were the real lyrics initially.
“It’s good to warm my balls beside the fire” - Home (Pink Floyd) "I'll stay with you till my seeds are dried up" - Sunshine of Your Love (Cream) “Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger” – Turning Japanese (The Vapors) “You’re an all gas-o-matic” – Orgasm Addict (Buzzcocks) "Baby you can't hide your lion eyes" – Lyin’ Eyes (Eagles) "Streets are run, even when you're down" – People are Strange (The Doors)
Others I just twisted.
“Count the head lice on the highway” – Elton John “I ain't a Martian anymore” - Phil Ochs "Oh, a storm is threat'ning, library life today" - Rolling Stones "Tears in my sperm, while I'm waiting for my turn" - Bob Marley “Pissing the night away” - Chumawumba “You better get your bags and flea” - Simon & Garfunkel

That’s what I thought Jennifer Hudson said when she sang it for her role in the Aretha biopic

Damn, damn, and damn again! Relaxing after the daily toil I was glancing through a Marc Bolan article which mentioned Metal Guru : Pollution machine??! Pollution! Well, it makes sense but it's not as good or kooky or Marc-y as 'washing machine', which is what I've been singing forever. "I'll be clean, you know, a washing machine, oh yeah..." I swear that's what he sings, check out the line below where the video starts at the relevant verse... It'll always be washing machine to me

Hang on, there's more. After I continued reading the passage, the author has this to say,
Another vote for the washing machine, then!
