C. Motivation MTV Reflection

Have the students view the music video and ask them the
following questions.

“ShouldaWouldaCoulda”
Beverly Knight
People say that together we were both sides of the same
coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn’t allow for compromise

I could see in the distance all the dreams that were clear to
me
Every choice that I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split asunder
Too late to realize how far apart we’d grown
How I wish I, wish I’d done a little bit more

Now “shouldawouldacoulda,” means I’m out of time

Coz “shouldawouldacoulda,”, can’t change your mind
And I wonder, wonder, wonder what I’m gonna do
“shouldawouldacoulda,”are the last words of a fool

People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream
about I tell them everybody gotta face their highs and their
lows
And in my life there’s a love I put aside, cause I was busy
loving something else so for every little thing you hold on
to, you’ve got to let something else go
(Chorus)
Fool if I would now forsake the opportunities are fate I
know I’m right where I belong
But sometimes when I’m not so strong I….
(Chorus2x)
