I'm With You (Avril Lavigne)



I'm With You (Avril Lavigne)

I’M STANDING on the bridge
I’M WAITING in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now

There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I’M LISTENING but there's no sound

Isn't anyone TRYING to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you

I’M LOOKING for a place
I’M SEARCHING for a face
Is anybody here
I know
Cause nothing IS GOING right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Repeat Chorus

Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeaaahhh

Repeat Chorus

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I, I'm with you
I'm with you, I'm with you

She's Not Just A Pretty Face (Shania Twain)

Here's a great song to practice jobs:


She's Not Just A Pretty Face 
(Shania Twain)


She hosts a TV show
She rides the rodeo
She PLAYS the bass in a band
She's an ASTRONAUT
A valet at the parking lot
A FARMER working the land
She is a champion
She gets the gold
She's a BALLERINA
The star of the show


She's - not - just a pretty face
She's - got - everything it takes
She has a fashion line
A JOURNALIST for "Time"
Coaches a FOOTBALL team
She's a GEOLOGIST
A romance NOVELIST
She is a MOTHER of three
She is a SOLDIER
She is a WIFE
She is a SURGEON
She'll save your life


[Chorus]
She's - not - just a pretty face
She's - got - everything it takes
She's - mother - of the human race
She's - not - just a pretty face


Oh, oh, yeah
Oh na, na, na, na.....
She is your WAITRESS
She is your JUDGE
She is your TEACHER
She is every WOMAN in the world


Oh, la, la, la
She FLIES an airplane
She DRIVES a subway train
At night she pumps gasoline
She's on the council
She's on the board
She's a POLITICIAN
She praises the Lord


[Repeat Chorus]


No, she's (she's) not (not)
just a pretty face
She's (she's) got (got) everything it takes
She's not just a pretty face
She's got everything it takes
She's not just a pretty face

I’M YOUR MAN (Michael BublĂ©)

If you want a LOVER
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a  PARTNER
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

If you want a  BOXER
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a  DOCTOR
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a  DRIVER
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man

Ah, the moon is too bright
The chain is too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a MAN never got a WOMAN back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say PLEASE
I'm your man

And if you've got to sleep
A  MOMENT on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the STREET alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a  FATHER for your CHILD
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man


ENG 115: Unwell (Matchbox Twenty)



Unwell (Matchbox Twenty)


All (noun) DAY staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on (possessive adjective) MY wall
All (noun) NIGHT hearing voices telling (object pronoun) ME
That I should get some sleep
Because (adverb) TOMORROW might be good for something


Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I (present simple verb - negative) DON’T KNOW why


But I'm not (adjective) CRAZY, I'm just a little unwell
I (present simple verb) KNOW right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then (subject pronoun) YOU’ll see
A (adjective) DIFFERENT side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right (adverb) NOW you don't care
But soon enough you (future with ‘be going to’ verb) ARE GONNA THINK of me
And how I used to be... me


I (present continuous verb) AM TALKING to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear (object pronoun) THEM whisper
And it (present simple verb) MAKES me think
there must be something wrong with (object pronoun) ME
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind


Repeat Chorus


I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they (present continuous verb) ARE TAKING me away


Repeat Chorus


Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

I'm just a little unwell
