Words that rhyme with Behavioral
The phonetic facts first: behavioral is four-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the short /æ/, and the line trails through a flowing liquid. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: strict matches don't survive the classifier, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, the assonance count climbs into the thousands. Take the lyric role separately and it's a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why behavioral rhymes the way it does
The phonology of behavioral is a four-syllable core: a low-front /æ/ (/æ/), then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 209, assonance 5,531, and consonance 2. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for behavioral tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
