Every single time I hear that song on the radio (because I would not choose to listen to it willingly) I notice how it bugs me that that lyric is grammatically incorrect. What the singer is saying is "it do not break even", when he meant to say "it does not break even".
There are many songs that have incorrect grammar and I can't help but think of the songwriter as lazy. Some of the songs are songs that I enjoy, but the student inside me is mentally correcting the lyrics.
