Words that rhyme with More
Most songwriters treat more as a concept word, but the phonology underneath matters: one-syllable, vowel on the /ษหr/ vowel, ending that spills out through a liquid consonant. Songs that use it well also reach for something physical nearby. Pool data: perfect rhymes turn up in abundance, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a word with pull. Start strict, scan family, and only reach for assonance when the line wants slant.

Why more rhymes the way it does
More is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ vowel, then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 71 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With more, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
