USED TO/ DIDN'T USE TO

We use 'used to' + infinitive for things that happened repeatedly or over a long period of time in the past, but are usually not true now, for example for things which happened when you were a child: 'I used to play in the street'.

Activity 3. Listen to the song and fill in the gaps.


IT´S ALL OVER NOW (The Rolling Stones)
Well, baby used to ________ out all night long
She made me ________, she done me wrong
She hurt my eyes open, that's no lie
Tables turn and now her turn to ________

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Well, I used to ________ in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
When I'd gotten worried she'd ease my aching __________
But now she's here and _________, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that _________ old clown

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Well, she used to ________ around with every man in town
She ________ all my money, playing her high class game
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Tables turn and now her turn to cry

Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over,if
I'm wrong I am right,
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust,
I know this is love but

If I tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you,
And thats exactly what I need to do,
If I'm in love with you

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place
should i leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Wait then as my heart drops,
and my back begins to tingle
finally could this be it

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place
should i leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place
should I leave it there?Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
