IF SHE WAS A BOY

Well now, not everything is going to be so sad here with the topics. We have also been listening to some music (yeah, teh Earth's music sounds so cool!) and we just found this lady who wants to be a boy? How come?!? Any ideas about it?

Anyway, and before you take a look at the video and listen to the song, how about if we recalled what the conditionals are? In order to do that, please watch these slides and listen to your human teacher, he will help you understand.

And, well, before you listen to this earthling sing about being a boy... What do you think? Why would a girl want to be a boy? Why would a boy to be a girl? Do you think there are mor possibilities?

And this is the video. But we have some questions:

Why does she say "If I were a boy, even just for one day, I would roll out of bed in the morning and throw what I wanted and go?
And what does she mean with "I'd put myself first and make the rules as I go"?
Do you think she is describing what it really means to be a man or a woman?

If I a boy
Even just for a day
I roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I kick it with who I wanted
And I never get confronted for it
'Cause they'd stick up for me
If I a boy
I think I understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they that I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that be faithful
Waiting for me to come home (to come home)
If I were a boy
I think I understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you I for you
You thought wrong
But you're just a boy
You don't understand (Yeah, you don't understand)
How it feels to love a girl someday
You a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you're just a boy
