I hadn't heard this song for years, until it came on the radio this morning. Do you remember it?
It was released in 1997, 15 years ago! Listen to the song and try to complete the gaps with the correct missing words. Before you listen, take a look at the lyrics and see if you can guess what the missing words may be. You may be able to figure out what words are missing by the context of the sentences.
Coincidentally, all the missing words are words you probably hear every day in your English classes, so you should be able to recognise them easily.
Note: You do not need to listen to the whole song to find the answers.
