You are writing a novel, and @Galastel's second example explains how you may use conventional dialogue tags to label the different speakers of different parts of song lyrics. In poetry, commonly the dialogue tags become part of the poem. Here is the beginning and end of [a poem](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48730/these-poems-she-said) by Robert Bringhurst as an example, with the dialogue tags emphasized by me: > These poems, these poems, > these poems, **she said** , are poems > with no love in them. [...] > [...] > These poems, **she said**.... > You are, **he said** , > beautiful. > That is not love, **she said rightly**.
