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

Sublime's, "Saw Red"
The Lyrics:
Every day I love her just a little bit more
And she loves me the same.
And she loves me the same.
Why:
He needs to compare how much she loves him to something. Using "the same" without a comparison is incorrect Example: "Every day I love her just a little bit more and she loves me the same as the last time I asked her how much she loved me." It just doesn't have the same ring to it....

Sublime's, "What I Got"
The Lyrics:
Lovin' is
Is what I got.
Is what I got.
Why:
It should be: Loving is, it's what I've got OR ...it's what I have.
