The Bolshoi were a London-based music group prominent mostly in the mid-late 1980s. They are best known for the hit song "A way" or "Away" (the name is interchangeable and has been noted as both on different albums/singles).

I bought you a car
Now you can drive
Way out of the city
It's got overdrive

I bought you a piano (She don't know)
Now you can play (She don't know)
Forget about your problems (She don't know)
On the world today (She don't know)

So I ask you for advice (She don't know)
Looks very nice but she don't know
I can't sleep at night (She don't know)
She's waiting at the light, yea
She don't know, know, know

I bought you a book
Now you can read... Yes
Get the experience without having to bleed

I bought you a plane (She don't know)
Now you can fly (She don't know)
Way, way up in the clouds (She don't know)
In a clear blue sky (She don't know)

So I ask you for advice (She don't know)
Looks very nice but she don't know
I can't sleep at night (She don't know)
She's waiting at the light, yea
She don't know, know, know

Don't is abbreviated for Do Not and Doesn't is abbreviated for Does Not.

In this case Don't is being used as "slang". For the purpose of these lyrics, singing She Doesn't Know would be adding an extra syllable to the verse and cadence would not have flowed as well.

Informal way...it's wrong, but it's common

Could some native speaker confirm my explanation?
