I can be the 2.________________________ (moody, superlative) baby and you’ve never met anyone
who is 3.____________________________ (negative, meaning the “same”) I am sometimes

I am the 4.____________________________ (wise, superlative) woman you've ever met.

I am the 5.____________________________ (kind, superlative) soul with whom you've connected.
I have the 6.__________________________ (brave, superlative) heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
who is 7.____________________________ (positive, comparative meaning the “same”) I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part

You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking

My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you’ve never met anyone as,
8.__________________________ (closed down, comparative meaning the “same”) I am sometimes.

Chorus

What I resist, persists, and speaks 9._______________________ (loud, comparative) than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

I'm the 10._______________________________ (funny, superlative) woman you've ever known.

I am the 11.__________________________________ (dull, superlative) woman you've ever known.
I'm the 12._______________________________ (gorgeous, superlative) woman you've ever known
And you've never met anyone as, as everything as I am sometimes.

3. Read the lyrics and write T for true or F for false about the person/people she is talking about..

( ) They know her qualities.

( ) They don’t know her faults.
( ) They have seen her best and her worst.

 Who do you think “they” are? Is it one person or more than one? What’s their relationship to the singer?

4. Who is the moodiest person you know? And the wisest? Use the superlatives from the lyrics to
talk about people you know.
 When talking in pairs, ask for more details. Act interested!
Teacher’s Guide:

Aim: recycles superlatives, pre-cycles present perfect (as chunks: “I’ve ever seen”, “you’ve ever met”),
recycles and teaches personality adjectives
