      "Used to" revision song

      I am sorry my blog followers because I couldn't share new posts recently..I have been busy in these days..It is time to continue to my grammatical songs that I use in my lessons all the time..and I have seen that you like them :)I am really glad..When my students learned "used to", I let them listen to John Legend's "Used to love you song". First I let them watch two different versions of the song and at the same time fill in the blanks in their worksheets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28hYBf1A2yk (clip version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkS4bmmr4w8 (my favourite acoustic version and my students love it)

       

      ______ _______ Love You - John Legend ______, It's _____ _____, I bore you No, No it's ______ fault cause I can't ______ you _______ baby Puffy, Jay Z Could all be _______ for you Cause all I _______ do was _____ you Baby _______ I __________love you There's nothing that I ________ do I'd twist through the fire ______ _____ Anything you _______ me to But I'm ________ of living this lie It's getting _______ to justify I ______ that I just _______love you Not like I ________ _______ I ________ rob somebody So we _______ live ______ Whitney and Bobby It's probably_____ fault My ______, My _____ You are about ______ All I _______ do was ______you Baby ________I ________love you There's nothing that I ________ do I'd twist through the fire _____ ______ Anything you _______ me to But I'm _______of living this lie It's getting ______ to justify I _____ that I just ______ love you Not like I ________ Baby ________I ________love you there’s nothing that I ________ do I'd twist through the fire _____ ______ But I am not gonna _____ the fool No, I ______live with this lie And I ______justify I _____ make you my _____ I ______ love you Not like I _____ __

       

      Used to Love You - John Legend Maybe, It's me Maybe, I bore you No, No it's my fault cause I can't afford you Maybe baby Puffy, Jay Z Could all be better for you Cause all I could do was love you Baby when I used to love you There's nothing that I wouldn’t do I'd twist through the fire for you Anything you asked me to But I'm tired of living this lie It's getting harder to justify I realize that I just don’t love you Not like I used to Maybe I should rob somebody So we could live like Whitney and Bobby It's probably my fault My bad, My loss You are about cause All I could do was love you Baby when I used to love you There's nothing that I wouldn’t do I'd twist through the fire for you Anything you asked me to But I'm tired of living this lie It's getting harder to justify I realize that I just don’t love you Not like I used to Baby when I used to love you there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do I'd twist through the fire for you But I am not gonna play the fool No, I can’t live with this lie And I can’t justify I can’t make you my wife I don’t love you Not like I used to

      Then I let them sing the song together especially with the acoustic version..I hope you and your students like it:)

      Thanks for a cool song. My favorite John Legend these days is from the August Rush movie, Someday Actually every single song from the movie is great.
