Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Gerry & The Pacemakers
Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.
Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics, Gerry & The Pacemakers
Check out the index.
Definitive Collection: Best of album at Amazon.com
Gerry & The Pacemakers', "Don't Let The Sun Catch You Crying"
The Lyrics:
It may be hard to discover
That you've been left for another
That you've been left for another
Why:
Passive voice. It should be "It may be hard to discover that your baby's left you for another."
