TRY WALKING IN MY SHOES

If I were... 

"Try walking in my shoes"

Can you guess the meaning of this expression? Is there any similar expression in your language? How can you express this in Spanish?

IF I WERE A BOY

If I were a boy, even just for a day

I'd roll outta bed in the mornin'

And throw on what I wanted, then go

Drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls

I'd kick it with who I wanted

And I'd never get confronted for it

'Cause they'd stick up for me

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

If I were a boy

I would turn off my phone

Tell everyone it's broken

So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone

I'd put myself first

And make the rules as I go

'Cause I know that she'd be faithful

Waitin' for me to come home, to come home

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 (wanted)

'Cause he's taken you for granted (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 thought I would wait for you

You thought wrong

But you're just a boy

You don't understand

Yeah, you don't understand, oh

How it feels to love a girl, someday

You'll wish you were 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

IF I WERE A GIRL

If I were a girl, even just for a day

I'd roll out of bed in the morning

Put up all my makeup and go

Go shop with the girls

And get my nails done

I would flirt with who I wanted

And I'd never get confronted for it

Because they'd cover for me

If I were a girl

I think I could understand

What it mean to love a man

I swear I'd do the best I can

I'd listen to him

Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

Cause she's taken you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a girl

I would turn off my phone

I would lie and say it's broken

So he wouldn't know that I'm unfaithful.

I'd put myself first

And make the rules as I go

Cause I know he'll always be there

Faithfully, waiting at home (waiting at home)

If I were a girl

I think I could understand

what it means to love a man

I swear I'd do the best I can

I'd listen to him

'Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted (wanted)

'Cause he's taken you for granted (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 thought I would wait for you

You thought wrong

But you're just a girl

You don't understand

Yeah, you don't understand,

what it means to love a man someday 

you appreciate a man.

You don't listen to him

You don't care how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

'Cause you've taken him for granted

And everything you have got destroyed

But you're just a girl.
