Words that rhyme with Done
The shape of done: one-syllable, vowel coloured by the unrounded /ส/, ending that hums to a nasal close. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, family-rhyme matches contribute a small near-perfect column, the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Take the lyric role separately and it's a word that knows where it's going. Slide from the strict column into the family column when the chorus needs a refresh.

Why done rhymes the way it does
Done sits on the short /ส/, transcribed /สn/ in our engine, and lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 61, additive and subtractive together 112, assonance 3,562, and consonance 1510. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Done is a word that benefits from the second pass.
