Enjoy a song and pay attention to the
if-clauses and the red words in the lyrics .
If I were a boy
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I would roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I would kick it with who I wanted
And I would never get confronted for it
Because they’d stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think that I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I would be a better man
I would listen to her

If I were a boy
I think that I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I would be a better man
I would listen to her
