Misunderstood - Bon Jovi

Another great song to practice third conditional and also the use of modal verbs.
Before I give them the lyrics, I usually ask the students about relationships, what they do when they make a mistake, how they apologize and if they ever had a discussion where they said everything and then regretted.
Then, I give them the lyrics to fill in the blanks.
After they do that, the follow up depends on what I want them to practice. If it's third conditional, then I ask them to write what would be the woman's answer to that song. If I want them to practice modals, then I ask them to imagine they are the man's friends and give him advice on what he should do to get the woman back.

Misunderstood
Bon Jovi

Should I? Could I?
Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine

You cried, I died
I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb
If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
I'm wasting time when I think about it

I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Could I? Should I?
Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night
Staying out too late with all my friends
You found me passed out in the yard again

You cried, I tried
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
It's not so bad when you think about it

I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
I 'm hanging outside your door
I've been here before
Misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good

It's you and I, just think about it...

I should have drove all night
I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Misunderstood
I 'm hanging outside your door
I've been here before
Misunderstood

I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good.
