It don't...or, It doesn't?

[Percival]

I love the song " It Don't Matter To Me " by BREAD. Is the grammar correct though? Should that be " It Does not Matter To Me" instead ? I'm confused, please advise. Thank you!

Yes, you are correct, but grammar often doesn't enter into the lyrics of many songs.

Maybe the writers find correct grammar difficult to make rhyme.

Because IT is a singular third person. Person here is not related to mankind but a linguistic definition. We use verbs with s/es endings after he, she, it(singular third persons). For plural third person-they, second person-you and first persons-I, We we use verbs without s/es endings. As Mr. Kistodad said, most songs aren't written with correct grammar as it would make it difficult to make rhythms. Like these in Whine up-Kat Deluna: huh huh huh I don't wanna wait no more. Listen to the song and you'll find out why ANY MORE there isn't inserted.

I got your point Mr. Kitosdad. For art's sake, songwriters tend to bend proper grammar to make the rhythm sound right to one's ears. Thank you, Sir... Vietanhpham, thank you for the valuable information as well!

I was born,raised, and educated in the Philippines.When I migrated here in the U.S., I've discovered so many English words that are pronounced differently.
Most of my co-workers in the office pronounce the word ASTERISK (*), as...as-te-rik(silent 's').In the Philippines, we pronounce the "s", as in RISK. What's right, ASTERISK or ASTERIK ?
Another mind boggling is the pronunciation of ASK as AKS...enlighten me please!

Thank you for the thanks to me. But I must admit that I'm not a sir. I'm just a student and if you want to call me something politely, then you may call me mister. About the pronunciation of the two words, the best way is listening to what native speakers usually pronounce them. Anyway, I think there must be /s/ in the transcription. For ask and aks, they're different. /aesk/ for ask and /aeks/ for aks.
