Sugababes', "About You Now"
The Lyrics:
Not a day pass me by
Not a day pass me by
When I don't think about you
Why:
It should be "passes me by" since the sentence is in the third person ("not a day" is the subject and "me" the object). Alternatively, they could've just gone with "passes by" to have it fit the rhythm of the song and still make sense.
