Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Heart
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.

Heart's, "City's Burning"
The Lyrics:
She want to get high, and he want to get paid

Heart's, "Cook With Fire"
The Lyrics:
But it'll learn ya
Way, way better than school
Way, way better than school
Why:
If she learned "it'll learn ya" in school, that school needs to be closed. "But it'll teach you" is how that sentence should have started.

Heart's, "Jupiters Darling"
The Lyrics:
actually it's the album title only. The name "Jupiter" should have an apostrophe between it and the possessive "s".
Why:
Our English teachers always got on us over mistakes like that.

Heart's, "Who Will You Run To"
The Lyrics:
Who will you run to
Why:
Since the pronoun is used as the object of a preposition, the correct title should be "_Whom_ Will You Run To".

Heart's, "Who Will You Run To"
The Lyrics:
Who's gonna love you baby as good as I
Why:
It should be "Who's going to love you as well as I do?" Even that is awkward. Maybe it should be "Who's going to love you as well as I do?"
