Love letters and advice

The Tourists - I only want to be with you.

I rewrote this song with some grammatical corrections as a letter, then asked the students what they would do, where they think the text came from and then played it for them.


Dear John/Joanne

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so. I only know I never wanna let you go because you started something, can't you see? Ever since we met you've had a hold on me. It happens to be true, I only want to be with you.

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do. I want to spend each moment of the day with you. Look what has happened with just one kiss, I never knew that I could be in love like this. It's crazy but it's true I only want to be with you.

You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance. I fell into your open arms, I didn't stand a chance. Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere. As long as we're together, honey, I don't care because you started something, can't you see. Ever since we met you've had a hold on me. No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.

Yours

...
