Song Lyrics

Let's Play a Little Game Before We Listen: Below are the lyrics to Bill's new song; Can you guess what the missing words are? [hint: pay special attention to the boldface words1]
mouse over the underlined words to see their meaning
[Hook]
I wanna be a movie star

[Verse 1]
Do you ever ______ bad?
Do you ever _____ sad?
Maybe that's just what you're supposed to do.
Do you _____ a nice car?
Do you _____ in a cool house?
Nobody knows what you're going through.

[Hook]
I wanna be a movie star

[Verse 2]
Do you ever ______ plans?
Do you ever ______ sex?
Maybe that's just what you're supposed to do.
Maybe we can go out
Would you rather stay in?
Everyone wants more than just a friend.

[Hook]
I wanna be a movie star
I wanna be a movie star

[Bridge]
And I know you're probably wondering who you are,
And I know it might seem lonely, but we've come so far.

[Verse 3]
Do you like to ______ pants?
Do you love to _____ planes?
Maybe that's just what you're supposed to do.
Maybe we should sell out
Maybe we can _____ gold
Maybe we can just ____  ______ home

[Outro]
I'm gonna be a movie star…

1 The blanks along with the boldface words represent what are called "collocations" in English, i.e. words that are often used together, such as 'take+a+shower' or 'have+breakfast'. Learning collocations helps you speak and write more smoothly, confidently and naturally in English.
