Neither of those sound remotely like the version you heard though.
I have a really hard time understanding the lyrics when I listen to songs (maybe because I'm autistic and have some auditory processing issues) so I'm often wildly wrong about them.
That's the point.... When you hear it wrong the first time and your brain locks it in that's what you "hear", until you finally get it forcibly corrected.. It's perception reality
I suspect they've also just heard the song in the background, and never really actively listened to it.
Often it just may be a song you hear a lot that's a bit catchy.. It may not be like an artist or genre that you are really into, if it were you'd probably take the time to get into it and not remain with the wrong lyrics for a long time... But it is funny when it happens, and it happens a lot... More than we might think, because when it's happening to someone they may go years before they realize it's happening, if they ever realize at all 😅
