I have to admit --
While writing this song,
I struggled to find words that rhyme.
It’s almost as if
My talent was gone.
I couldn’t find words that would rhyme.
The rhymes were all close --
But none of them true!
I’ve given up hope.
I feel like a fool!
What bugs me the most
Is this song doesn’t rhyme!
Had I gone to Berklee,
Would this song be working?
Would that have helped this song to rhyme?
Had I gone and bought us
A brand-new thesaurus --
Would that have helped find words that rhyme?
I’m out of my depth.
I’m grasping at straws.
I just can’t accept
I’m at such a loss.
I’ve got nothing left!
I can’t make this song rhyme!
Maybe it just doesn’t matter.
Maybe it’s gonna be fine.
Maybe the world will say, “Eh -- close enough!”
No -- it’s still gonna bug me! Augh!!!
I just have to face it.
Give in to frustration.
I can’t make this stupid song rhyme!
You’ll just have to like it!
I’ll never rewrite it!
It’s pointless! I can’t make it rhyme!
You get what you get,
So please don’t complain!
It bugs me to death,
But one fact remains --
‘Though I’ve done my best?
This song just doesn’t rhyme!
