Don't Call Me Baby 
Boston之行

知道这首歌，还是从女儿那里得到的歌名。在收音机里经常会听到这首歌，只是觉得旋律好听，朗朗上口，并没有深究，直至又一次女儿坐在车上，正逢收音机里播放这首歌，才知道是叫《If I Were a Boy 》（假如我是个男孩）。
今天，女儿一边在帮我输入报税支出费用，一边在听歌。她的电脑里又响起了这首歌，方知是熟悉的Beyonce的热作。一贯是快歌路线的Beyonce，怎么也会有这样抒情感人的歌呢？看着歌词，听着旋律从平叙到激昂，道出了女儿人的心声。
“If I were a boy
I think I could 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 ”。
倘让女性能让发出这样的慨叹，那么作为男人，不觉得应该好好思考自己吗？
听完歌，觉得眼睛有些潮湿。于是问女儿为什么用“If I were ”。她似懂非懂。于是解释这是虚拟语气。
语法书是这样解释虚拟语气的：Subjunctive mode: is a form of the verb that states a necessity, desire or suggestion. The subjunctive mode could also name a condition that appears contrary to current facts.
我认为每个男人都应理解这样想法，应该听听女性的心声。每个男士都应该认真听听，当女性要用虚拟语气变成男士来爱自己，是否是我们的悲哀呢！
“或许每个女孩人格的另一部分或潜意识中都会有这样的想法，if i were a boy....用自己的方式爱自己，可是在这个世界上，还有谁比我们自己更爱自己呢。。？”一个女孩是这样写的。
但作为男人，理应让女人骄傲地作回自己。
If I were a boy
如果我是个男孩
Even just for a day
即使只能做一天
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
我会在清晨翻下床
And throw on what I wanted then go
随心所欲的乱扔东西
Drink beer with the guys
和哥们儿喝着啤酒
And chase after girls
在街上泡妞
I’d kick it with who I wanted
我可以得到任何一个我想要的人
And I’d never get confronted for it.
我也从不会为此烦恼
Cause they’d stick up for me.
因为她们会为了我争风吃醋
[Chorus]
If I were a boy
如果我是个男孩
I think I could understand
我想我会明白
How it feels to love a girl
如何去爱一个女孩
I swear I’d be a better man.
我敢保证我会成为一个更好的男人
I’d listen to her
我会聆听她的话语
Cause I know how it hurts
因为我能明白那有多痛苦
When you lose the one you wanted
当你失去你所爱的人
Cause he’s taken you for granted
因为他总是认为你的爱是理所当然
And everything you had got destroyed
你的世界就此崩塌
If I were a boy
如果我是个男孩
I would turn off my phone
我会关掉我的电话
Tell evveryone it’s broken
告诉所有人它已坏掉
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
这样他们就会以为我是独自入睡
I’d put myself first
我会把我自己放在第一位
And make the rules as I go
让世界围绕着我旋转
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
因为我知道她会无比忠诚的
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)
等着我回家（回家）
(Chorus)
（重复）
It’s a little too late for you to come back
你现在回来已经太晚了
Say its just a mistake
你辩解说这只是一个误会
Think I’d forgive you like that
以为我仍旧会原谅你
If you thought I would wait for you
如果你认为我还会等着你
You thought wrong
你就大错特错了
(Chorus)
（重复）
But you’re just a boy
但是你只是个男孩
You don’t understand
你不明白
Yeah you don’t understand
你不会明白
How it feels to love a girl someday
某一天爱上一个女孩是什么感觉
You wish you were a better man
你会希望你是个更好的男人
You don’t listen to her
你从不聆听她的话语
You don’t care how it hurts
你从不在意她的痛苦
Until you lose the one you wanted
直到你失去所爱
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
因为你总是认为她的爱是理所当然
And everything you have got destroyed
你的世界就此崩塌
But you’re just a boy
然而，你只是个男孩
