Words that rhyme with Someone
The phonetic facts first: someone is two-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the front /ษ/, and the line lets the line ring through a nasal. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get the perfect column comes up empty, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance well runs into four figures. Sketch the lyric role and you get a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why someone rhymes the way it does
The phonology of someone is a two-syllable core: the front /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 39, assonance 4,314, and consonance 0. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Someone reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
