Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"The Story Of A Young Heart"
The Repetitive Lyrics: This is the story of a young heart.
Why They're Repetitive: This line is repeated 4 times in the chorus, which is repeated about 4 times throughout the entire song (though the last time the chorus is repeated, the lead singer breaks it up with "you know they're gonna break your young heart"). Also the line "the story of a young heart" is repeated four times in the verses.
