1. Fill in the gaps in the text with the personal pronouns below:
Beauty queen of only eighteen, ____
had some trouble with herself
___ was always there to help her, ___
always belonged to someone else
___ drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I’ve had ___ so many times
But somehow, ___ want more
(CHORUS)
___ don’t mind spending everyday 
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she ___ wants to stay awhile
And ___ will be loved – 2X.
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn’t matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's a compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
you can eat anytime you want
(CHORUS)
I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved – 4X
I know where you hide
alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodby means nothing at all
He comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
(CHORUS)
I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved – 4X
Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye
