Lyric Training - Shape of You by Ed Sheeran

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first post on Interpreter's Class.

On this first lesson we will practice our listening. You will need to fill in the blanks on the lyric sheet as you hear the song. Feel free to repeat the song as many times as you need, but for a bigger challenge try doing it on the first try!

After you're finished, you may share your results in the Training Forums for feedback both from Ricardo and other students in the community!

Before you begin, you may download the printable PDF here.

And now my smell like you

Every day discovering something brand new

I’m in love with your body

One week in we let the story begin

We’re going out on our

And how your family’s doing ok leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the

Tell the driver make the radio play and I'm singing like

Girl you know I want your love

Your love was handmade for somebody like me

Say boy let’s not talk too much

Grab on my (Tough word!) and put that body on me

Come on be my baby come on X 6

Every day discovering something brand new I’m in love with the shape of you
