Words that rhyme with Warning
The shape of warning: two-syllable, vowel coloured by the high /ษช/, ending that rings out through a nasal. Songs use it self-referentially โ the song is also a voice. Songwriters reach for it as a word about saying or singing. Perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, there's a small family-rhyme pool to draw from, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Family rhymes give you slants that still feel like rhymes; lean on them when the strict pool fatigues.

Why warning rhymes the way it does
Warning is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, then it hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 6 matches, family rhymes 12, additive and subtractive together 84, assonance 8,074, and consonance 2. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Warning rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
