Grammatical errors in english song lyrics

Hi all EF loungers emoticon-I Love Indonesia

Believe it or not,
Even English songs are written in English, but still, there are some grammatical errors in it.

It might be caused by the urge of a rhyme, in which the song writer wants the same sound among the lines. Or, because the English that was used in the songs is daily-used (colloquaial English) instead of the formal English.

However, it is still interesting to find that some cool songs have some gramamatical errors in it..

Here are some:

Quote:

.. And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket,
but I've got to get move on with my life,
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

(fergie - big girl don't cry)

Quote:

like a child misses theirblanket

A child is the third person singular, so that the possessive pronoun should be "his/her", thus the sentence should be:

Like a child misses his blanket

Come on, find the errors in your fave songs and let others know!:maho
