HAVE FUN WITH THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS: 1º // 2º ESO

Listen to the song and complete the lyrics with the verbs in the Present Continuous:

I' (sit) here
in the boring room
It's just another Sunday afternoon
I' (waste) my time
I got nothing to do
I' (hang) around
I' (wait) for you
But nothing ever happens -
and I wonder

I' around in my car
I' too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I' (wait) for you

But nothing ever happens -

and I wonder

Chorus

I wonder I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow Lemon tree
I' ( turn) my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another Lemon treeI' ( sit) here

I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so put myself into bed
Where nothing ever happens - and I wonder

Isolation- is not good for me
Isolation- I don't want to sit on a lemon tree
I' (step)
around in the dessert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy

And will happen - and you'll wonder

Chorus
And I wonder wonder
I wonder I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see (x4)
is just another yellow Lemon tree
