STEPMOM, ... If You Need Me Call Me


Hi, there!,

This is one of my favourite songs and films. My mother and I used to sing this together as if we were Susan Sarandon and her daughter. This movie can make you cry...but it's worthwhile ...

Well, as an English teacher, I recommend you this song for your lessons, it is funny and suitable for teaching "ADJECTIVE + ENOUGH". Let's listen to it!!!

All in all, pay attention to its lyrics, "THERE'S NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH, ... IF YOU NEED ME, CALL ME ...", I love its tender meaning ...
