Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Tiffany
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, Tiffany

Tiffany's, "I Think We're Alone Now"
The Lyrics:
And so we're runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand.
Holdin' on to one another's hand.
Why:
It is incorrect to say "one another" when referring to two people. "One another" is used in reference to three or more people. "Each other" is used in reference to two people. Therefore, the correct lyrics should be "Holdin' on to EACH OTHER'S hand."
