OK going back to this a second, I just found a HUGE example!Run by Amy MacDonaldWill you tell me when the lights are fadingCos I can’t see I can’t see no moreWill you tell me when the song stops playingCos I can’t hear I can’t hear no moreShe said I don’t know what you’re living forShe said I don’t know what you’re living for at allHe said I don’t know what you’re living forHe said I don’t know what you’re living for at allBut I will run until my feet no longer run no moreAnd I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no moreAnd I will love until my heart it achesAnd I will love until my heart it breaksAnd I will love until there's nothing more to live for.Will you tell me when the fighting’s overCos I can’t take I can’t take no moreWill you tell me when the day is done Cos I can’t run I can’t run no moreShe said I don’t know what you did it forShe said I don’t know what you did it for at allHe said I don’t know what you did it forHe said I don’t know what you did it for at allBut I will run until my feet no longer run no moreAnd I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no moreAnd I will love until my heart it achesAnd I will love until my heart it breaksAnd I will love until there's nothing more to live for.And I will love until my heart it achesAnd I will love until my heart it breaksAnd I will love until there's nothing more to live for.It's a very good song too, also Mr Rock and Roll is excellent IMO!Lindz!

Imogen Heap's "i am in love with you" off ofher "speak for yourself" has that feel(btw if you havent heard that album i think yer gonna like it)

repetitive lyrics, or anaphora, are useful writing tools when the artist is trying to catch a listener or reader with the hook, metaphor, or surprise that completes the work.As a verse you are describing the way this person has got you doing things or making things happen to you that are out of your control, hence the reason we all write about love because it makes us all goofy!So... take time to write a chorus that ties into the verse.Let us know where this feeling is going to take you.Hope that helps ping
