英文歌曲天天唱：If I Were a Boy - Beyonce
《If I Were A Boy》是美国流行歌手Beyonce 《IAm...Sasha Fierce》中的首支单曲，并在2008年10月作为《I Am...》碟中的首支单曲，并与《Sasha Fierce》碟中的《Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)》并行发行。
歌曲在小字组内横跨2个八度，高音很高，低音很低，伴奏缓慢抒情，高潮部分碧昂斯强有力地唱出了歌曲的灵魂：“如果我是男孩儿，我也可以和喜欢的人混在一起，我也可以毫无顾忌的去泡妞”，讲述了当你失去你爱的人的时候，男孩儿们应该怎样去好好爱一个女人。
