Poetry or just another mistake?

Today, my post is about a singer that committed a murder when she wrote the song “She ain’t right for you”…

Let’s talk about her a little bit:

Her name is Macy Gray. Famed for her raspy voice and a singing, Natalie Renee McIntyre was born in September 6, 1967 in Canton, Ohio. To date, Gray has released four studio albums, one compilation album, and one live album. Her music style goes from R&B to Soul. (In my opinion, she rocks!!!!!) (Photo: Macy Gray's new album: Big - realeased in 2007)

But, I’m here to talk about that song that I mentioned first. I’ll paste the lyrics here to start:

Wrote me in a letter, that she makes you feel better
All of the things, you said to her
But I feel what I feel
It’s real
 
(Chorus)
And she ain't right for you
She don’t know you like I do and
No matter what she do
She ain't right for you
Don’t you wanna be happy?
Baby you should stay with me cuz’
She ain’t right for you
She don’t love you like I do
 
Turn me around, turn me upside down
Sporting the tears, of a clown
But I feel what I feel
It’s real
 
(Chorus)
 
(Bridge)
They will say that I spent all my days, chasing a love
That she took away, but I feel, what I feel
 
You know baby, I’ve been trying to tell you for a mighty long time
That you could keep looking, you could keep searching, all over the world
But the real thing is right here baby, and no matter what she say
No matter what she do, she don’t love you like I do
 
(Chorus) 

Well... all the bold phrases have some mistake: I guess you know what’s that… at least, I hope you do…

We know that in the simple present, we put –ES in the end of the verbs when the subject is HE, SHE or IT. In the lyrics, our “murderer” wrote without the right termination. You might think: “why would a poet, a songwriter commit such a mistake???” the answer is in the question: she’s a poet! A songwriter! She got a “license” for that… that’s why people accept it. So, you can’t write like that in a test… WATCH OUT! WE HAVE A TEST NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!! LOL…

Well… it was just a curiosity that, in my point of view, is interesting…

And, just to finish, I'll give my own answer to the question I made: Poetry or just another mistake??

PURE POETRY!

Peace!
