Mas afinal o que são as “If Clauses”?

As orações condicionais (if clauses) expressam a

dependência entre uma circunstância ou condição e um fato
ou resultado.

a) a oração condicional (que exprime a condição),

introduzida por if.
b) a oração principal (main clause), que menciona a
consequência

A oração condicional pode vir antes ou depois da oração

principal.

 If I Were a Boy
Beyoncé
If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And 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 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 taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
