Amen, Joe.

Speaking of "forced," one of my least-favorite lyrics is the second verse of "Let It Be Me," most famously recorded by the Everley Bothers and Willie Nelson, lyrics translated from the original French by one Manny Kurtz:

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me

The grammar, per se, might not be incorrect, but the syntax is graceless and, well, weird. Use of the word "one" is often more formal or even more correct than "you" or "me," but in this case, it seem to be used only to force a rhyme.

Too bad, it's a lovely melody, and the rest of the English lyrics are fine.

*****************

Use of "I" in preference to "me" as the object of a verb or preposition is common usage in Rasta/Jamaican, as far as I cen tell from song lyrics. It would not surprise me to learn that the origin of this quirk might be found somewhere in England.
