MOTIVACION: Listen a song and complete the lyrics with COULD




Could you be loved... and be loved...

Don't let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right !
Love would never leave us alone,
Against the darkness there must come out the light .

_______ you be loved... and be loved...
________ you be loved...wo yeah... and be loved...

(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brotherman !

Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - _____ you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)

Don't let them change ya, oh! -
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
We've got a life to live. (ooh, ooh, ooh)
They say: only - only -
only the fittest of the fittest shall  survive -
Stay alive! Eh!

Could you be loved... and be loved...
________ you be loved... wo now... and be loved...

(You ain't gonna miss your water, until your well runs dry;
No matter how you treat him, he’ll never be satisfied.)
