Words that rhyme withdoing

feminine
Masculine

Ends on a stressed syllable — a one-syllable rhyme, or a multisyllable word whose primary stress lands last. The rhyme hits the final beat, the way most rhymes in songs do.

Examples

love · dove · today · believe · forgot

Feminine this word

Ends with an unstressed syllable trailing the stressed one — always at least two syllables. The rhyme lands a beat earlier and trails off softly.

Examples

river · mother · follow · breaking · mountain

Masculine and feminine endings rarely sing together (the rhyme lands on a different beat), so they're kept apart here.

What it is
  1. The syllables' vowel sounds are identical.
  2. The sounds after the vowels (if any) are identical.
  3. The syllables begin the same — repetition, not a rhyme.
How it feels

Off the rhyme scale — identity is repetition, not resolution. Shown so you can spot it, not reach for it.

Example

fuse / confuse — both stressed syllables are 'fuse'

“doing” at line end — from real songs

We hadn't spoken in a couple moonsI called him last night: "How you doing?"
— Aesop Rock, “Blood Sandwich” · rhymes doing / moons
How you feeling, girl? (Ooh)How's the gutter doing?
— Frank Ocean, “Crack Rock” · rhymes doing / ooh
How am I doing?What I'm trying to say is that I love you and I miss you
— Jason Molina, “Darling...” · rhymes doing / you

How to read the 453 results

Tiers follow Pat Pattison's stability scale — pick the resolution your line needs, not just the closest sound. Bold words are common in lyrics; a struck-through word with a cliché flag is an overworked pair; a vermilion dot counts how often the pair appears at line end in our corpus of real songs.

Perfect rhyme 53
Same stressed vowel, same sounds after it, different beginning. Full resolution — the strongest closure a rhyme can give a line.
Additive 226
Same vowel, but one word carries an extra consonant after the shared ending. The added sound softens the landing slightly.
Assonance 174
Only the stressed vowel matches; the consonants after it are unrelated. Loose and open — useful when a section should stay unresolved.
Identity 56
The whole stressed syllable repeats, beginning included. That's repetition, not rhyme — the line echoes instead of resolving.
