- Many times lyrics use an informal type of vocabulary. This is why we find things like contractions and slang words.
- Examples of contractions and slang we can find in lyrics:
- – ’bout = about
- – don’tcha = don’t you
- – ain’t = am not, is not, are not, has not or have not
- – ’cause / ‘coz = because
- – -in’ ending: thinkin’ or losin’ (drops the g in -ing, sounds more informal)
- – dunno = don’t know
- – lemme = let me
- – gimme = give me
- – gonna = going to
- – gotta = got to
- – wanna = want to
- – kinda = kind of
