“care” in a lyric: two examples

Your cactus lived the month you weren't there;
I watered it and talked to it with care.

Summer nights on the fire escape, fresh air,
we didn't have a plan and didn't care.

How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • Rhymes of 1 syllable (there, where, and their) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (millionaire and unaware) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “care” sounds forced, move “care” inside the line and end it on another word.
