I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...

serves you right - done

Three verses plus a chorus plus a bridge should make complete song lyrics, right? Here's the verses that I've written:

 

Verse 1:

so your guy's walked out on you
you feel unloved and deserted
nothing much that you can do
you are lost and disconcerted [I used a rhyming dictionary here]

 

Verse 2:

so your dream's come to an end
to live like a bee in clover *
with no lover and no friend
now your glory days are over

 

*[ I used a rhyming dictionary to serach for rhymes to "over"' , next I used a dictionary of phrases to find "to live in clover", when checking that phrase on Google I discovered "to live like a bee in clover". Remarkably, this complete version of the phrase - as plausible it looks - seems to occur only in dictionaries, whereas the shortened expression "to live in clover" seems to be common. I'm using the maybe more uncommon phrase, nonetheless.]

 

Verse 3:

when you left me I was shocked
I was hurt, it felt demeaning [rhyme for "meaning" that I found in a rhyming dictionary]
my mind seemed to be blocked
and my life had lost its meaning

 

Bridge:

it took a while for me
to get over you
it took a while for me
to recover
there's still a hint of pain
when I think of you,
when I picture you
with a lover

 

Basically, I'm using the same rhyme pattern throughout the song: A B A B (three times in the chorus). But I think the meters of the different song parts vary enough so it should be fine. I usually prefer to vary the rhyming patterns as well. Anyway, the lyrics sound great together with the music in my mind ;-)
