The pattern in a song with words is phrased in a similar fashion and most often rhyming makes it a lot easier to remember. You know it’s four bars and you know the next phrase should end with something that rhymes with “Blue”. Helps a lot when memorizing.

Written sentences is most cases are not structured like this. Newspaper articles, novels etc (stuff like poems being the exceptions) are just words basically tumbled over each other as rythm and rhym serves no purpose to convey the message.
