I've Just Seen a Face
(Beatles)
I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place where we met,
She's just the girl for me and I want the world to see we've met.
Mm mm
Had it been another day I might have looked the other ways and,
I'd have never been aware but as it is I'll dream of her tonight.
Da da
Falling, yes I'm falling,
And she keeps calling me back again.
I have never known the like of this I've been alone and I have
Missed things and [have] kept out of sight for other girls were never quite like this.
Da da
Falling, yes I'm falling,
And she keeps calling me back again.
Mm mm
I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place where we met,
She's just the girl for me and I want the world to see we've met.
Mm mm
Falling, yes I'm falling,
And she keeps calling me back again

Hugs,

So even native speakers have trouble speaking English well!

Ótima sugestão, Michael! Canções perfeitas para treinar em inglês!

For a long time the singer had believed in the message of the mass media: metaphorically described as "the wrong radio station"
But that action, which happened frequently in the past, has now finished.

O cantador tinha credo no mensagem de mídia - aqui esse mensagem é descrevido com metáfora 'estação errado de radio'.
