Okay, this is really OCD, but what lyric in a well-known song drives you crazy for it’s accent on the wrong syllable?

For me, it is off of Fleetwood Mac’s _Rumours_:

Oh, Thunder only happens when it raining  
Players only love you when they’re playin  
Women they will come and they will goooo  
When the rain wa-SHES you clean - you’ll know

wa-SHES?!?
