Simple Present




My Kind of Girl (Frank Sinatra / Michael Bublé)

A lovely song to practice the Simple Present Tense



My Kind of Girl
(Frank Sinatra / Michael Bublé)
She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
And her hair has a kind of curl
To my mind, she’s my kind of girl

She's wise like an angel's wise
With eyes like an angel's eyes
And a smile like a kind of pearl
To my mind, she’s my kind of girl

A pretty little face
That face just knocks me off of my feet
Pretty little feet,
she's really sweet enough to eat
She looks like an angel looks
She cooks like an angel cooks
(Baby, I'm hooked after just one look)
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
Cause to my mind, she’s my kind of girl

That pretty little face
That face just knocks me off of my feet
Pretty little feet,
she's really sweet enough to eat
She looks like an angel looks
And she cooks like an angel cooks
(Oh, I'm cooked after just one look)
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
Cause in my mind, she’s my kind of girl
And my heart has a kind of joy
Cause in her mind,
I’m just her kind of boy

Song: As Long As You Love Me (Backstreet Boys)

Here's a simple song to practice subject pronouns + verb BE
question words and the Present Continuous









As Long As You Love Me
(Backstreet Boys)

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I’m crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you’re here with me

Chorus:
I don't care who you are
Where you’re from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you’re from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you’re on the run
It seems like we’re meant to be

Repeat Chorus

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're coming from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby.
