Is there any justice in this grammar?

0 Greetings everyone! I'm new to these forums, and I have a little query. 02br
02br
00Am I correct in my thinking that the following sentence is grammatically inept? 02br
02br
00"If theres any justice in the world 02br
00I would be your man 02br
00You would be my girl" 02br
02br
00Thanks! 02br

0Welcome to English Forums, Nyarlathotep-- it's nice to have you here. 02br 02br 00Your posting looks like a fragment of song lyrics, which are exempt from grammatical rules of any kind. If I were writing an essay, however, I would use 'if there were any justice'.

0 Hi Mr. Micawber. 02br
02br
00I understand what you meant about song lyrics, I just wanted to clarify that it was indeed 'wrong' in terms of grammar. 02br
