Lucky, by Jason Mraz

Mine, by Taylor Swift
Students are asked to complete the lyrics with the words they think might fit in the blanks. If they need hints, the words that were taken out are listed, but in alphabetical order, not in the order they come in the song. Last, they listen to the song to check if their guesses were right.
