When this life is too short
To live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless
What are you going to do

Why They're Misrhymed:

Now this just a lame assed attempt at making two words that don't rhyme, rhyme.
You and do just don't rhyme and here she is attempting to make it rhyme.

[Ed's note : I can only assume your comments are a matter of perspective? Where I live I can assure you they rhyme! Also, According to the Complete Rhyming Dictionary and Poet's Craft Book (ed. Clement Wood, 1936) it does!]
