Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"More Than This (2010s)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: If I'm louder, would you see me?
Why They're Nonsensical: This doesn't make sense, because you don't see with your ears. It should be "If I'm louder, would you hear me?"
Submitted by: Ariana Grande Mocha Swirl
| "What Makes You Beautiful (2010s)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: You don't know you're beautiful
That's what makes you beautiful Why They're Nonsensical: In this hypothetical situation, the fact a girl has no idea she is good looking makes her good looking. This is impossible. For her ignorance of her beauty to make her beautiful, she would have to first be beautiful to not know she is beautiful. Therefore, not knowing she is beautiful cannot be the reason she is beautiful because she is already beautiful. For this song to make sense they could have said 'that's what makes you more beautiful'. Not so pithy perhaps but it would annoy me less so that's a plus.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"History"
The Lyrics: You and me got a whole lot of history
Why: It should be "You and I have a whole lot of history." There's no good reason it isn't that way.
Submitted by: Rick O'Shea
| "What Makes You Beautiful"
The Lyrics: Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you Baby you light up my world like nobody else The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed Why: "Everyone else but you": It is redundant and incorrect to say "but you" in this sentence because the meaning is already implied by the phrase "everyone ELSE". "The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed": It should be "I am overwhelmed by the way that you flip your hair" or "The way that you flip your hair overwhelms me". The correct use of "overwhelm" is as a transitive verb and not an adjective describing a state or condition. So something can overwhelm a person or a person may be overwhelmed by something, but it is incorrect to say that something can get a person into an "overwhelmed state".
