"Can't Help Falling In Love" - Elvis Presley (Cover by Haley Reinhart)
I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island
I book myself into a soul asylum
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I can leave this spirit
I'll find me a hole and I'll live in it
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found
But I don't feel down
You're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found
But I don't feel down
I don't feel down
"Real Love" (John Lennon)
All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real
From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love
Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid
It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real
Thought I'd been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
Yes it's real, yes it's real love
It's real, yes it's real love...
As we learnt in class, these three pattern verbs are easy to use: "Let someone do something", "Make someone do something" and "Want someone to do something". However, you may need some more practice "to get the hang of it".
Of course, Ed Sheeran has a great command of these structures. We can see how he makes good use of "let" and "make" in his song Photograph.

This song is from Caillat's album, "Gypsy Heart." In an interview Caillat said she
went into the recording studio with producer Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds
and explained to him she was tired of being pressured by others to look
like someone she was not. He encouraged her to put those feelings to
music. The song's music video shows a number of women, including Caillat
herself, gradually removing their makeup, wigs, and fake eyelashes and
letting their natural beauty shine. Caillat said: "We shot the video in
reverse, we started bare, and by the end we finished with the full hair
and makeup, and then reversed the film for the finished product. All of
the women were amazing."
"This song is not to say that we should never wear makeup, but to say that, sometimes, it's okay not to." The song is about not trying to be someone else in order to make others happy. "It's this song I've had in my head my entire life
about personal insecurities, imperfections, self-confidence issue," she
told Billboard magazine. "I thought I was the only person who
felt that way and now I release this song that so many people around the
world are relating too, so many different age ranges, men and women. It
makes me feel great that I'm not the only one in this situation. For
them, hearing a song that speaks to them about something they've gone
through, it connects us."
The lyric video features female celebrities like Sheryl Crow, Miranda
Lambert, Sara Bareilles, Christina Perri, Hayden Panettiere appearing
without makeup, to help prove Caillat's point. "I have a couple
celebrity friends that would be more impactful for everyday people to
see what we look like normally," said the singer.
