Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> High Inergy
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.

High Inergy's, "You Can't Turn Me Off (In The Middle Of...)"
The Lyrics:
You won't do nothin' but please me now
Why:
Double negative. It should be "You won't do ANYTHING but please me now" or "You'll DO nothin' but please me now." Millie Jackson made the same mistake in her version of the song a few years later.
BTW: The full title is "You Can't Turn Me Off (In The Middle Of Turning Me On)," but it won't all fit in the title box.
