Song she sang to me Song she brang to me Words that rang in me Rhyme that sprang from me
Ungrammatical past tense of "bring." ouch! It sounds like she really "flang" herself at him.

You don't want me, but you need me
You don't want to kiss me, but you need to
Maybe it wasn't the best idea for Avra to switch the first and second person pronouns in this Smokey Robinson classic, since it doesn't rhyme anymore.

Her name was Joanne
And she lived in a meadow by a pond
She touched me for a moment
With a look that spoke to me of her sweet love
"Pond" and "love" don't rhyme.

Someone left T. rex out of his pen.
And I'm afraid those things can harm me,
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney, And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend.
"Pen" and "friend' don't really rhyme; nor do "harm me" and "Barney". But that's alright. This song's wild humor makes it all worth it!

Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back
I originally thought Grace Slick was saying, "I don't care about Jack." since that would rhyme with 'back,' but it turns out she's saying 'I don't care about that.' (Note: When this song came out, the band was no longer known as Jefferson Starship.)

"Caught" doesn't rhyme with "Mort".

Open mouth feels warm, secrets swollen, so sore.
At one point I thought the line was "Open mouth fuels war," which would rhyme and made sense and was rather poetic in a sense, but alas, I was wrong.

But blood for blood without remorse
I've ta'en at Oulart Hollow.
And laid my true love's clay cold corpse
Where I full soon may follow.
Remorse and corpse don't rhyme. It would have to be either "course" or "remorpse"!

Sunburn, freezerburn
Chokin' on the ashes of her enemies
The rest of the song sort of has a rhyme scheme, but I'm pretty sure freezerburn doesn't rhyme with enemies.
