Brenton Brown's Your Love Is Amazing is surely a contender for the Crappy Choruses thread, but I thought it might also make for a Circus game.

The structure is basically as follows:

Verse:

AAAB
CCCB

Chorus:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, your love makes me sing x2

The aim of the author seems to have been to make the three rhyming lines as excruciating as possible, as in

Your love is surprising
I can feel it rising
All the joy that's growing
Deep inside of me


But I feel sure Shipmates would be up to the challenge of finding rhymes that are even worse.

Suggested rules as follows:

One poster supplies lines AA ('your love is...')
Next poster supplies lines AB
Another poster supplies lines CC ('your love is...')
Next poster supplies lines CB
(for extra style points, a poster is then allowed to post the chorus at this point before we start again).

To start us off, here are two "AA" lines:

Your love is amusing
I find it enthusing...

Sorry, Raptor, but there is a rhyme scheme. Hope you don't mind if I follow it.
