I'll probably ask one or more of the sites that publish lyrics to correct the lyrics. This is much more difficult than it used to be because many of these sites are contractually obligated in some way. Spotify uses lyrics from one or more sites. Google shows the lyrics of songs from one or more of these sites. Some sites give people the option of listening to the song from Amazon music for a small fee. The copyright owners of the songs may object.
I thought that I would start at this site. When I have time, I'll request sites that publish lyrics to correct this line.
