You might just think the words are wrong"

"If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not;

I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play to long

I was dreaming when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray

So what if the words ain't rhyming
Did you thing that it's just a game
I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn

There's not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
Had a dream last night but I forget what it was

I'm singing this borrowed tune
I took from the Rolling Stones
Alone in this empty room
Too wasted to write my own

Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, can't remember which one, it's on The Tiffany Transcriptions:

"I'll bet you think that's two fiddles playin! ... Well it is."

"And yes, this is my singing voice
It's not irony
And it's not rock and roll
I'm just talking
To the kids"

I'm singing this note 'cause it fits in well
With the chords I'm playing
I can't pretend there's any meaning here
Or in the things I'm saying

When it gets you so bad that a doormat's seen better times
That's a time to get back and think up some better lines

Pink Floyd, "Have You Got It Yet?" (From late in Syd Barrett's tenure, he changed the structure constantly as he was "teaching" it to his bandmates and occasionally he'd sing out the title.)

I can't do the talk like they talk on TV
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be

- Dire Straits, "Romeo and Juliet"
