In the song ‘With a Little Help from My Friends’ do you guys remember the lyric being, “What would you do if I sang out of tune?” Instead of ‘think’?

I’ve always remembered it being ‘do’ instead of ‘think’. Even in some covers I listened to I heard them sing ‘do’. Until I listened to the song a few days ago I realized Ringo sang ‘think’. I searched up the lyrics and I saw it said ‘think’ instead of ‘do’. Am I the only one that thought this? Am I trippin?

Every once in a while I look up the lyrics to a Beatles song and realize I’ve been singing a part wrong the entire time… there’s so much to remember

Siempre he recordado que decía "do" en lugar de "think". Incluso en algunas versiones que he escuchado los oí cantar "do". Hasta que escuché la canción hace unos días me di cuenta de que Ringo cantaba "think". Busqué la letra y vi que decía "think" en lugar de "do". ¿Soy el único que pensó eso? ¿Estoy alucinando?

I think I've never noticed it before..

I feel like it might be because the next lyric is an action - to “stand up and walk out”. Given that’s something you would ‘do’, rather than ‘think’, maybe that explains the auto-correction that your brain has done with the song

Coming back to this a day later after watching my Ringo concert videos - he indeed sings it live often as “What would you do if I sang out of tune”. Either he wants to change it or doesnt care himself

From what I remember, Ringo/Beatle's version is "What Would You Think..." and Joe Cocker's "What Would You Do?" When I saw Ringo in concert in 2000, he was singing that line and he accidentally sang "What would I think if I sang out of tune/would I stand up and walk out on me?" He started laughing -- it was funny! Another time a bunch of people starting walking out of the theater (most likely wanting to beat the traffic) and I yelled out "How rude are you people!" Haha!
