Words that rhyme withyours

masculine
Masculine this word

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

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'

“yours” at line end — from real songs

My neighborhoodThen I'll dig a tunnel from my window to yours
— Arcade Fire, “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)” · rhymes yours / neighborhood
And what love enduresFor I'm so completely yours
— Billie Holiday, “Don’t Explain” · rhymes yours / endures
To everybody in Queens, the foundation (It's yours)To everybody in Brooklyn
— Nas, “The World Is Yours” · rhymes yours / brooklyn

How to read the 2369 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 22
Same stressed vowel, same sounds after it, different beginning. Full resolution — the strongest closure a rhyme can give a line.
Subtractive 52
Same vowel, but one word stops a consonant early. A slightly clipped, softer resolution than perfect rhyme.
Assonance 308
Only the stressed vowel matches; the consonants after it are unrelated. Loose and open — useful when a section should stay unresolved.
Consonance 1987
The vowels differ but the ending consonants match. The faintest echo of all — texture rather than closure.
Identity 6
The whole stressed syllable repeats, beginning included. That's repetition, not rhyme — the line echoes instead of resolving.
