Titolo: Perché la canzone dice "Love don't give no compensation"

Tutti quei DON'T non dovrebbero essere DOESN'T!?
Testo:
Love don't give no compensation
love don't pay no bills.
Love don't give no indication
love just won't stand still.
Love kills
drills you through your heart
Love kills
scars you from the start.
It's just a living pastime
ruling your heart line
stay for a lifetime.
Won't let you go 'cause love
love
love won't leave you alone.
Love don't take no resenvation
love is no square deal.
Hey
love don't give no justification
strikes like cold steel.
Love kills
drills you through your heart
Love kills
scars you from the start.
It's just a living pastime burning your lifeline
Gives you a hard time
Won't let you go 'cause love
love
love won`t leave you alone.
Hey
love can play with your emotions
open invitations to your heart.
Hey
love kills. Play with your emotions
open invitations to your heart
To your heart
to your heart
love kills.
Love kills
hey
hey
love kills
love kills
love kills
love kills.
Love can play with your emotions
open invitations.
Love kills
hey
drills you through your heart.
Love kills
scars you from the start.
It's just a living pastime
ruling your heart line
won't let you go.
Love kills
hey
drills you through your heart
Love kills
tears you right apart.
It won't let go
it won't let go
love kills
yeah
yeah.

 love don't pay no bills.
Yes, if this were an essay or a psychological treatise on human behavior or 
some such thing.
It isn't. It's a song. There are *no rules* when it comes to writing song 
lyrics.
FYI, that misuse of "don't" for "doesn't" is very common among some cultures, 
Blues culture most notably.

 cultures, Blues culture most notably.
This reminds me of Ronnie Coleman[*] saying:
"Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder, but don't nobody wanna lift no
heavy ass weights." LOL. :)

LOL. Now I realize my reply didn't address the double negatives in the OP, 
(but then, they weren't even asked about.)
Now you've presented us with a triple negative.
And how true, Ronnie Coleman's saying: it brings to mind another version of a 
common expression:
Everybody wanna make omelets but don't nobody wanna break no eggs.
But shouldn't "heavy ass" be hyphenated? :) I'm just sayin'...
(And PS: I like your x-face. Mine is "mao," Chinese symbol for "cat."

 Mine is "mao," Chinese symbol for "cat."
Nice! For sure I wouldn't have guessed it. :)

 achieve.
For an x-face, it's very good. They're hard to produce and to have look good, 
other than line drawings and such. That's why I went with the 'mao' symbol, 
rather than trying to have a pic of my cat (who's my very good buddy.)
The word ('mao') is pronounced in the first tone in Mandarin: high and even, 
which sounds like a cat meowing. :) So not only does the ideogram look like a 
cat (sort of: lying on its side, undoubtedly asleep; no surprise there) but 
the name of the animal sounds like the its 'speech.'
