Note: .In this song form each verse often ends with a refrain
(see refrain).
In simple binary, or two part, song form, the verse is
followed by the chorus. ‘The melody, harmony, and lyrics of
the chorus are different from the melody, harmony, and
lyrics of the verse. When this musical form is repeated,
each subsequent verse has different lyrics while the lyrics
of the chorus remain the same.

Note: While binary song form is often used by contemporary
popular songwriters, many contemporary pop songs contain
additional material which provides additional musical and
lyrical contrast to the verse and chorus. This additional
material is called either a primary or a transitional bridge
(see bridge).
In complex binary song form, the verse and chorus are often
longer and more elaborate (both lyrically and musically)
than the verse and chorus of simple binary song form.
Here, the verse functions specifically as an introduction
to the chorus and ie called an introductory verse. The
chorus is the main body of the song which may be repeated
in part or in full without the verse.
