and silence and a variety of forms that often include
the repetition of sections.

Text Structure

rhythmic related to the main body of song.
Verse
It is the section of the song structure that tells the story. This is
the exposition, describing the scene or the person, or an emotion.
Chorus of Refrain
A chorus is the most repeated section, so it’s the easiest
remembered. A chorus is the summary of the song’s story. 
 A refrain is any line that repeats in the song lyric, while a chorus is
any group of lines that repeat.
Text Structure
 Break
A break is actually a brief “rest” or “pause” for the core melody within
a song used to add further dimension and excitement. It may
include a quick instrumental solo or drum interlude or it may be a
brief moment of silence
Bridge
This is the part of the song that shifts. It can suddenly change tempo,
or volume, or instrumentation.
Bridges can be used to give the singer a break.
Outro or Coda
This is the end of the road for the song. It can repeat the intro, chorus
or a refrain as an outro, or a bridge with an instrumental solo.
Language Feature
Lyrics are written in first, second, or third person given on the

and rhyme. A rhyme is a linguistic style, based on consonance or
similiar sound of two or more syllables or whole words at the end of
one line
They use alliteration. It is a stylistic device in which a number of
words, having the same  first conconant sound, occur close together
in a series

more common in speech than in writing

[Intro]
[Verse 1:]
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
[Verse 2:]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
[Bridge:]
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
[Outro:]
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh
