I am looking for songs that use �will� or �going to� future tense. I have found �you are going to loose that girl� by the Beatles but unfortunately it is pronounced �gonna� in the song. Can you think of any others?

I'm on my lunch break and will think of more but the only one with "will" that I can think of at the moment is I will always love you by Whitney Houston. Over the top, yes...but at least it isn't too raunchy

I Will Always Love You

If I should stay
I would only be in your way,
So I'll go, but I know
I will think of you every step of the way.


Chorus:
And I will always love you, will always love you.
You, my darling, you.

Umm, bittersweet memories,
That is all I'm taking with me.
So good bye, please don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

Chorus

I hope live treats you kind,
And I hope you have all you dreamed of.
And I wish you joy and happiness,
but above all this i wish you, love.

Chorus

And since you mentioned a beatles song, I will include this

I just googled with the phrase "will" lyrics and got 33,900,000 hits so there must be other songs to be found. Good luck!

I will by the Beatles

Lyrics:
Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely life time
If you want me to I will

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
And you know I will
I will
Ooo, la

I was also thinking of Whitney, but then one has to be careful about whether the "will" used in the song functions as a future intention, or as something else, like a promise.

True true....I just figured I'd toss something out since noone else had any input. But I told him or her about googling the terms and whatnot so hopefully more apporpriate songs will be found.

What's wrong w/ "goona" it's called a speech reduction and as all speech reductions they should be taught in a conversation class.

Beat me to it. Great song. The version by Alison Krauss is also very nice.

I'm not even a Beatles fan Embarassed Just found it on google.

Slightly off topic but I think Beatles songs are really good for the classroom. My students enjoy the songs, figuring out the meanings of them and singing them a milion times until they are stuck in my head!

How about:
Simon and Garfunkel's (Are you going to) Scarburough Fair.
"Will you still love me tomorrow?".
She''ll (will) be coming around the mountain.
or....

Going to the chapel And we're gonna get married
Going to the chapel And we're gonna get married
Gee I really love you And we're gonna get married
Going to the chapel of love

Let me take you down, 'cause i'm going to strawberry fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.


You're going to lose that girl,
You're going to lose that girl.
If you don't take her out tonight,
She's going to change her mind,
And i will take her out tonight,
And i will treat her kind.

Or my favorite Afroman's....

I was gonna clean my room until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high
my room is still messed up and I know why
- cause I got high
cause I got high
cause I got high

I was gonna go to class before I got high
I coulda cheated and I coulda passed but I got high
I am taking it next semester and I know why
- cause I got high
cause I got high
cause I got high

I was gonna go to court before I got high
I was gonna pay my child support but then I got high
they took my whole paycheck and I know why
- cause I got high
cause I got high
cause I got high




I wasnt gonna run from the cops but I was high
I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high
Now I am a paraplegic
- because I got high
because I got high
because I got high

I was gonna make love to you but then I got high
I was gonna eat yo p***y too but then I got high
now I'm j***ing off and I know why
- cause I got high
cause I got high
cause I got high

I messed up my entire life because I got high
I lost my kids and wife because I got high
now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why
- cause I got high
cause I got high
cause I got high

I'm gonna stop singing this song because I'm high
I'm singing this whole thing wrong because I'm high
and if I dont sell one copy I know why
- cause I'm high
cause I'm high
cause I'm high

and many many more. I was gonna find more but........

I agree but I want to use this as a warmer leading to an introduction to the �will�, �going to� �..I think the reduction should come later.

The pace is great. It is undersandble�.there are so many things about this song that would make it work great�too bad the �got high� content make it a �no go�.
