New Kids On The Block's, "Officially Over"
The Lyrics:
It's officially over, it's officially over
There ain't nothing you can say that can fix your wrong

New Kids On The Block's, "Summer Time"
The Lyrics:
You wasn't lookin for a man
when you saw me in the sand
and Cause we was feeling young love
when you saw me in the sand
and Cause we was feeling young love
Why:
These are just more examples of bad grammar in pop music.
The first lyric obviously should be "You weren't looking for a man when you saw me in the sand but you fell for the boy from the city."
The Second lyric should be "Cause we were feeling young love."
