Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Kenny Rogers
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, Kenny Rogers

Kenny Rogers', "Through the Years"
The Lyrics:
I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you.
When I didn't care for anyone but you.
Why:
I think Kenny means he can't remember a time when he DID care for anyone but the woman he's serenading, but what he SAYS is the exact opposite - i.e. "Honey, I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with somebody else, but it was never with you."
