Why do we get words or small phrases stuck in our heads over and over and over and over?

This is different than a song being stuck in your head. It could be a single word, or the ending of a sentence, etc. Why does it happen?

Why can’t I relate to this???

I’ve only ever had words stuck on my head (if it’s not a song) when I try to not forget something and repeat it in my mind so I don’t forget. Also when I’m reading or writing and the last phrases I repeat in my mind sometimes to absorb the meaning of the words.

I’ve never had non musical words unintentionally stuck in my mind! Why is this?

It’s not like I have no sense of rhythm either…
