Words that rhyme with Teenage
Teenage: two-syllable, a workaday word, vowel sitting on a long-a that lifts the line, ending that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Pool data: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why teenage rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for teenage starts at the vowel — a long-a that lifts the line, IPA /a/ — and ends where the line snaps shut on a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 239, assonance 5,728, and consonance 63. 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 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. Teenage is a word that benefits from the second pass.
