Si J'étais Un Homme Lyrics in English Chilla

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si J'étais Un Homme by Chilla from French to English.
I will talk to you like you never talk to your mother
You'll owe me if I buy you a drink
I'll harass you with ten friends just to get your number
You'll have to be nice if I take you to a restaurant
If you say 'no' I'll make you change your mind
I'll make your life hell, I'll ruin your life
I'll act according to my pride, according to my desires
I'll tell you you're the only one, I'll make you feel unique
I'll watch football, you'll do the dishes
I'd tell you to f*ck off when you make a scene
If I buy you a chain, will you become my b*tch
I'll be unfaithful to you but you'll come back anyway
If I were a man, if we reversed roles
I'd lift your dress, would you keep control
If I were a man, if we swapped skin
I'd call you a 'slut', would you turn your back
If I were a man, oh
If I were a man, oh
If I were a man, oh
If I were a man, oh
If I were a man, I'd piss against the walls
I'd hit on moms, teens, nuns, and wh*res
Permitted to f*ck, valid worldwide
Not the same judgment, the same contract, the same salary
I'd be your independence, your long-term investment
We said 'For life', I signed the credit for the Benz
It's in nature, the male is dominant
If I were a man, I wouldn't have feelings
I'd make promises I couldn't keep
I'd hit you just to keep you
If you want to please me, you'll have to suffer
Hey, the sad vicissitudes of desire
If I were a man, if we reversed roles
I'd lift your dress, would you keep control
If I were a man, if we swapped skin
I'd call you a 'slut', would you turn your back
If I were a man, oh
If I were a man, oh
If I were a man, oh
If I were a man, oh
Blinded, I forgot the one who takes care of his mother
I remember the one who behaves like a gentleman
There are men of value, of heart, proud men
The friend, the good husband, the brother, and the father
The one who takes care of his mother
Who behaves like a gentleman
Men of value, proud men
The friend, the good husband, the brother, and the father
If I were a man
If I were a man
But I'm not
