0 I'm a native speaker of American English, and I don't always understand all the words in a song.  I prefer the ones I can understand!  You can usually find lyrics online by typing a line you do understand into google, along with the word "lyrics."  You can also find many examples of songs that people have misundertood with humorous results, by googling "misheard lyrics." 0-

0 Like khoff, I have to say that I do not understand every word of a song on the first hearing. After several hearings, and if I'm paying attention, I can usually come to understand all the words. 02br

00In your place, I would not be too concerned if I couldn't understand the words of songs. 02br

I was reeeeeally concern about this issue, but this post gave me some relief. Also I'd like to ask you if the kind of music determine your full or not full understanding, for ex I suppose that the Beatles' songs are easier to grasp than heavy metal songs, is this correct?
When you are talking about songs, do you mean all the songs you hear have some words that you don't understand? or as I said, it has to do with the kind of music?
