    After saying it aloud to myself several times, I realized it’s a language/pronunciation thing. As a non-native english speaker, I pronounce “sew” with a more closed mouth and pursed lips, instead of how native speakers say it with a more open mouth and rounded lips. I also don’t know about the song lyrics past “re”.

      Ah yeah. You pronounce it like “sue” instead of like “so”? That’s certainly how one would think it’s pronounced in English, based on its spelling.
