Nobody but you
(James Taylor.)
Everybody knows that I'm just a Joe That likes to hang around Talking about my problems Bringing other people down Well this may be so, but not long ago I was sitting on the top of the world Sure is strange how things can turn themselves around
When I'm in need of a little bit of consultation Used to call on my Uncle John Took a trip down to West Virginia Found him dead and gone And as some sort of silly little consolation They gave me my ticket back What you gonna do with folks like that?
You come on talkin' about angel bands You think that you come with your soul in your hands Just to set their children free But you talk about a little bit of understanding Things that happen day to day Someone has been good to me, yeh.
Nobody but you, nobody but you, nobody but you, nobody but you (repeat)

Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Present participles do not act as nouns. Instead, they act as modifiers or complete progressive verbs. Analyse the use of the underlined ING forms in the text, and mark the one that is a gerund.
