Repetitive Song Lyrics:

"In Our Lifetime"

The Repetitive Lyrics:

I just need to have your love (I just can't say no)
It's a gift from way above

Why They're Repetitive:

Out of all the easiest couplets in the world of rhyming, this one surely has to be the winner of the accolade for 'Overused Past The Point Of Death'. How many times do we have to hear pop songs with the lines 'love' and '(gift from) above' being married to one another? One can expect such thing from a five year old maybe �' just pure laziness and the 'skill' of rhyming the two went stale a long while ago; now it's just so banal one might find his/her eyes rolling into their sockets when listening.
Of course, there are many other examples but we'd be here for a while if they were listed, that's for sure.
