Words that rhyme with Satisfied
A three-syllable word that reads as a workaday word, satisfied sits on the bright /iห/ and snaps shut on a stop. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. The assonance well is bottomless, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and strict rhymes arrive in number here. Run rhymes for satisfied through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: the pull is toward slant work. Use the strict rhymes for the structural beats and let slant rhymes do the interior work.

Why satisfied rhymes the way it does
Pull satisfied apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the singing /iห/ (/iห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 420 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 254, assonance 3,779, and consonance 1082. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Satisfied rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
