First thing I remember was asking Papa why
For there were many things I didn’t know

And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
Saying someday you’ll understand

Well, I’m here to tell you now each and ev’ry mother’s son
You better learn it fast, and you better learn it young
'Cause someday, never comes

I’m a fan of the Black Sabbath original but I also want to give a shout out to this incredible cover by Charles Bradley

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had

She was my woman
I loved her so
But it’s too late now
I’ve let her go

I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes

We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way

But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray

I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes

It took so long
To realize
And I can still hear
Her last goodbyes

Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years

I’m going through changes
I’m going through changes

If someone gets decapitated or fed through a wood chipper then you know for sure they’re dead and not unconscious.

Right, and for pronouns you don’t just put apostrophe s after. So you don’t make “it” possessive by adding apostrophe s just like you don’t add apostrophe s to “he” or “him” to make it possessive.

If you treat the pronoun “it” like a regular (non-pronoun) noun instead of like other pronouns, that is itself an exception.

As “its” is used to indicate possession by “it”, “its” is an exception to apostrophe-s construction as used to indicate possessive forms.

Most, if not all, pronouns work that way though.

“The man’s arm” becomes “his arm” not “him’s arm”. “The woman’s arm” becomes “her arm” not “her’s arm”. Similarly, “the robot’s arm” becomes “its arm” not “it’s arm”.

I don’t really care if people use “it’s” instead of “its” , but I don’t think it’s a unique exception. The only thing that’s unique is that it is pronounced the same way as if you tacked an apostrophe and an s on the end. If we used the word “hims” instead of “his”, I’m sure people would start putting an apostrophe in there too.
