1
For all the times that you ran on my parade
2
And all the clubs you get in using my name You think you broke my heart,
3
oh girl for goodness sake You think I'm crying on my own, well I ain't
4
And I didn't wanna write a song
5
Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care or don't But you still hit my phone up
6
And baby I'll be moving on
7
And I think you should be something I don't wanna hold back Maybe you should know
8
that My mama don't like you and she likes everyone And I never like to admit that I was wrong
9
And I've been so caught up in my job Didn't see what's going on but now I know
10
I'm out of sleeping on my own Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby,
11
you should go and love yourself
12
And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself
13
When you told me that you hated my friends The only problem was with you and not them
14
And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
15
It tried to make me forget where I came from And I didn't wanna write a song
16
Cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care or don't But you still hit my phone up
17
And baby I'll be moving on
18
And I think it should be something I don't wanna hold back Maybe you should know that
19
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
20
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
21
And I've been so caught up in my job Didn't see what's going on But now I know
22
I'm better sleeping on my own Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby,
23
you should go and love yourself
24
And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself Baby,
25
baby For all the times that you made me feel small I fell in love,
26
now I feel nothing at all
27
I never felt so low when I was vulnerable Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?
28
Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby you should go and love yourself
29
And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself
30
Cause if you like the way you look that much Oh baby you should go and love yourself
31
And if you think that I'm still holding on to something You should go and love yourself

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
