...why in Eric Clapton's song "Cocaine" is:

she don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie;
Cocaine

????
shouldn't it be: she doesn't like????

      actually, it's very common in american english. example: "...but she don't care
      how i feel...". i guess, people in english-speaking countries don't care about
      grammar as much as people who learn english, as long as others understand them.

        it may be just to keep the rhytm of the song;
        it is a little faster to say "she don't" than "she doesn't"

      In spoken English, we rarely pay attention to doesn't and don't especially when
      we are speaking in a slang context.

      The same in London with Cockney....."I goes..." means "I said...." :-)))))

      Polish is also full of such 'mistakes' which are generelly accepted and are
      ignored. :-))))
