    Evergreen by Barbra Streisand. The whole thing seems like one long verse,

    Another one for 'Song Lyrics You Thought Were The Song Title' thread as I thought it was called 'Love Soft As An Easy Chair'. There is some overlap between that thread and this as it's harder to know the song title if there's no chorus.

    Blink 182- I miss you. Structure is Verse, Verse, Chorus, Chorus. I think the song is much stronger for it, by the time the chorus comes there is a sense of urgency and desperation in the lyrics.

    What the hell? An awful lot of these songs have quite clear verses and choruses!

    A few of my suggestions:

    Rihanna - Red Lipstick
    Rihanna - Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary
    Rihanna - Get It Over With
    Kanye West - Power
    Pretty much all of Kanye West's Yeezus album
    Azealia Banks - 212
    Jay Z/Kanye West - **** In Paris
    Florence & The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

    Yes but a lot don't follow the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-middle 8-chorus structure, which is what the thread is about.

    Quite a few of the songs on Beyonce's latest album don't follow that structure either.

    Yeah, the ones that don't follow the structure, I'd say, are:

    Ghost/Haunted
    Rocket
    Mine
    ***Flawless
    Yoncé

    I don't think Partition follows the structure either. It's a pretty good album and I don't usually like Beyonce's albums.

    I think it does... the "take all of me, I just wanna be the girl you like" part is the chorus. Look at the lyrics:
    [Verse 1:]
    Driver roll up the partition please [×2]
    I don't need you seeing Yoncé on her knees
    Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up
    We ain't even gonna make it to this club
    Now my mascara runnin', red lipstick smudged
    Oh he so horny, yeah he want to ****
    He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse
    He Monica Lewinski'd all on my gown

    Oh, there daddy, daddy didn't bring the towel
    Oh, baby, baby be better slow it down
    Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up
    And we ain't even gonna make it to this club

    [Chorus:]
    Take all of me
    I just wanna be the girl you like (girl you like)
    The kinda girl you like (girl you like)
    Take all of me
    I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like
    The kinda girl you like is right here with me
    Right here with me
    Right here with me
    Right here with me

    [Verse 2:]
    Driver roll up the partition fast [×2]
    Over there I swear I saw them cameras flash
    Hand prints and footprints on my glass
    Hand prints and good grips all on my ass
    Private show with the music blastin'
    He like to call me Peaches when we get this nasty
    Red wine drip filth talk that trash
    Chauffeur eavesdropping tryin' not to crash

    Oh, there daddy, daddy now you ripped my fur
    Oh, baby, baby be sweatin' on my hair
    Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up
    And we ain't even gonna make it to this club

    [Chorus:]
    Take all of me
    I just wanna be the girl you like (girl you like)
    The kinda girl you like (girl you like)
    Take all of me
    I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like
    The kinda girl you like is right here with me
    Right here with me
    Right here with me
    Right here with me

    Hello!

    [Middle 8:]
    Est-ce que tu aimes le sexe?
    Le sexe. Je veux dire, l'activité physique.
    Le coït. Tu aimes ça?
    Tu ne t'intéresses pas au sexe?
    Les hommes pensent que les féministes détestent le sexe,
    Mais c'est une activité très stimulante et naturelle que les femmes adorent.

    [Chorus:]
    Take all of me
    I just wanna be the girl you like (girl you like)
    The kinda girl you like (girl you like)
    Take all of me
    I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like
    The kinda girl you like is right here with me
    Right here with me
    Right here with me
    Right here with me

    Hello!
