Lyrics:
How's it feel to be a woman
How's it feel to be a man
Are we really that different
Tell me where you stand
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say we're night and day
I'd like to try another way
Oh baby for just one day
If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard to understand
That a heart's a heart and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man

Still very proud of this song, and the album it comes from. All credit to the amazing Desmond Child 💖
Bonnie Tyler responding to her song 11 years later!?!?! Fun fact we come from the same town
We need more music like this . I believe this music build personalities
You should be proud. Few people realise that you paved the way for Bon Jovi's hit "you give love a bad name"
your most underrated song and most magnificent vocal performance for me together with Islands and Holding out for a hero :)
Queen 👸
bonnie tyler is a legend and she is still going strong
Hey, 7 years ago
Yow, 8 years ago how you doin??
So, you still alive?
Yow wazzup you still alive??

This song has been sampled SOOOO many times but few people know where the sample originated. I absolutely love Bonnie. One of my favorite female vocalists. Such a powerful set of pipes on that woman!!! ❤️ 🎶 🎙️ 🎸
Dude this song is from 1986, Bon Jovi's song is two years older)
@@LevinsThe incorrect. Their album named Shot Through the Heart came out in '84. You Give Love A Bad Name (the actual name of the song) was on the Slippery When Wet Album which came out in 1986. The same person, Desmond Child wrote both songs. But he wrote If You Were A Woman for Bonnie Tyler first. He then reworked it for Bon Jovi because he wanted the song to climb higher in the American charts. He knew the version by Bonnie had already gotten some play and wanted to make the song even bigger by using it for two different groups at once. Bonnie's version was released in March of '86 and Bon Jovi's in July. I'm a massive music nerd and I love the history of songs so I've dug into this before because that chorus melody has become so popular.

@@morganr4426wow just wow
@@rinindibox4906 wow what?
The best part of this song, is that both the lyrics and the videoclip can go beyond gender. It can be a metaphor to war, peace and acceptance altogether. Now that's art.
@carlos what do you mean, no?
When I was younger I had absolutely no idea what this song met but when I grew up I realized and I love it even more.
Bonjovi : You Give Love a Bad Name
Bonnie Tyler : If You Were A Woman
Ava max : Kings and Queen
One chorus team lol
truee
Same guy wrote them.
how about Heaven is a place on earth - Berlinda Carlisle? i also thought it sounded the same in the chorus
Ankie Bagger - Where Were You Last Night
This song was really ahead of its time. and has such an important message that even modern society forgets constantly
Ayo is that Azul Ashengrotto in your pfp-
Modern Society have more knowledge, but lesser Wisdom.
What a bs. Modern society is all about this
Yes
Don’t what society your living in. This is being shoved in my face constantly. We got people really switching up genders in real time.
It’s sad this song didn’t get the recognition it deserved at the time. It’s a great song!
It did + was a hit single in countries: like France, Belgium, Switzerland, New Zealand!
Same with the album: Secret Dreams and Forbidden Fire!

Bon(Jovi)nie Ava Max
Bon-tyler-max
Nice mix
hahahaha
I feel like the song actually speaks about the difficulties of being a man in society, and the difficulties of being a woman in society. Sweet message, I like how it speaks to both genders, and not just women and completely ignoring the struggles men also face in this world.
When i heared it for the first time, my first impression was gay relationship
now im sad
@@billythemillipede6102 Feminism is first and foremost about women's rights (therefore the name, the female gender). And that's because women have faced and still face more oppression than men. This doesn't mean that men don't struggle or that the feminist movement doesn't benefit men as well. Equality is something that all people benefit from. But there is no country where men aren't allowed to drive cars, need permittion from their wives to get educated or travel, get mutilated or have to marry their own rapist (and the list goes on). Men's responsibility when it comes to unwanted pregnancies or abortions are never questioned or mentioned. Not to mention the double standards that occur in every society when it comes to sex, clothing and behaviour that affects women differently than men. Just read the news and some history books and you'll understand what I mean.
@@alexandrabrorsson1265
Except feminists don't campaign in the countries that exhibit the standards u listed. They campaign in western countries and complain about trivial matters. Also you seem to have 0 awareness if u seriously listed mutilation isn't a problem for men lmao, as well as claiming only women deal with double standards
Я согласна с тобой на десять миллиардов процентов из ста
This song released the same year my mom was born, in 1986. I'm too young to really understand how the world was like in the 80s, but I'm really glad the whole aesthetic of this decade is coming back. Because the 80s had a lot of incredible songs and talented artists to come out of that time period.
Wow
I was born the year after your mom. The fact that someone my age has a child who is old enough to be on the Internet writing mature comments like yours blows my mind. Time moves fast! (I don’t have any kids … yet. I still feel like one myself!)
It was fucking great back then.
@@phildevitt877 I was thinking the same thing! My sister was ‘87 and I was shocked reading the comment 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂@@phildevitt877
If it was possible to marry a song, I'd pick this one for sure. The instrumental has that undercurrent of synth with that consistent, thrumming drumbeat, the rhythm of the lyrics throughout the entire song but especially during "I look at you, you look away", the backup vocalists supporting and enhancing Bonnie's vocals, which sound so emotional and gutteral (exactly how I'd want a song with this topic to be sung!), the sax solo, the higher notes in the final 2 choruses, the intense outro that feels like it culminating in a fever pitch... It's all so perfect, I'll never get tired of listening to it ❤
Honestly thank you Ava Max....i didn't know that song. This is why i think sampling is important in music, it can introduce you to hidden gems like this 🙌
Hey, I just heard Ava's Song for the first time and my initial thought was "Can't Bonnie sue her?". After reading your comment, I admit I was wrong. Forgive me. You nailed it.
@@ekkehardrist491 it's called sampling and that is very common in music nowadays
Same
@@uaxea It's called interpolation, not sampling
@@uaxea But stupid people always term it as palgarizing
"IF YOU WERE A WOMAN" - Bonnie Tyler
"KINGS & QUEENS" - Ava Max
yup
+ Bon Jovi (bad name)
Ah I see
Ava Max = low budget Lady Ga Ga
"You Give Love a Bad Name" - Bon Jovi
That voice... no words to explain it Bonnie, you are goddess 🎤❤️
Вы русскоязычный
Not a goddess
I "found" Bonnie Tyler back in the early 80's and still love the authenticity of her and her music. My daughter is now 15 and sometimes when I'm driving her to her friends, we crank up the volume and listen to Bonnie and sing at the top of our voices!
Ava Max' Kings and Queens led me here! And I got obsessed with both songs
Kings and Queens is just a rip off of this song paired with Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name. But they're all written by the same person (Desmond Child) so I think we've got 3 good singers choosing a bad writer who can only actually write 2 songs haha.
Who the hell is Ava?
Ava nawet do paznokci u nóg nie dosięga Bonnie.
Noa Demartini ava max

Im 12 and im obsessed with this song. It's amazing!❤
Good to know there are still young people with good music taste👍
Have you heard You Give A Love A Bad Name by Bon jovi yet? Same writer, same melody, I bet you will love it!
@@Bananenbennie oo imma for sure listen to it!
A total underrated masterpiece encapsulating what the 80s were. Thabks for this amazing track and please don't ever let it die because this song is still relevant to this very day.
To me, this will always be one of @BonnieTylerOfficial best (and most underrated) songs. Always been one of my favorites. It's sad this song didn't get the love it deserved back in the 80s (so much so, Desmond Child rewrote it for Bon Jovi into You Give Love a Bad Name, which charted well).
Still, this was the song that made my (at the time when I first heard it in 1996 at the age of 14) gay self fall in love with Bonnie Tyler.
Yes Ava Max and Bon Jovi and of course Desmond Child wrote this - produced by Jim Steinman. The video is peak epic 80s extra - Bonnie’s trademark gorgeous rasping vocals, radiant and resplendent with big hair big shoulder pads leather dress and diamanté earrings, huge spider’s web, all the extras from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax video, group synchronised interpretive dance and a huge saxophone solo. Why on earth was this not the massive hit it deserved to be? Criminal that this wasn’t huge!
Well it was a hit single in France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Finland, + New Zealand!
Tekst piosenki:
How's it feel to be a woman
How's it feel to be a man
Are we really that different
Tell me where we stand
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say, we're night and day
I'd like to try, another way
Oh baby, for just one day
If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard, to understand
That a heart to heart, and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man
How's it feel to be the hunter
How's it feel to be the prey
Is there really a reason
For this game we play
I look at you, you look away
Why do you say, we're night and day
I'd like to try, another way
Oh darling, for just one day
If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard, to understand
That a heart to heart, and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man
Hey, we're just two people trying to love
Oh but how, how can we love
With this wall between us, holding us back
If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard, to understand
That a heart to heart, and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man
Would it be so hard, to understand
That a heart to heart, and we do what we can
If you were a woman and I was a man
If you were a woman and I was a man

O polska 🇵🇱
“Shot through the heart and you’re to blame! You give love a bad name”
“To all of the Queens who are fighting alone, baby you are not dancing on your own.”
This masterpiece moves me every day! I've been listening to it for months now, in the morning when I get up, when I'm getting ready for work, when I get home from work, while I'm in the shower. The energy of this song rises to the heaven. What Magic Affair's Omen III is to the '90s, this piece is to the '80s. Aesthetics, energy, words, music, video, fashion. All! A kiss at the end. And that glamorous walk on the way out. Fantasy!😮❤
It's September 2021, Let's see how many people come back to this song everyday, this song is legendary
I love the comeback of the 80s in modern pop. Ava and Dua are doing an incredible job
Ava is not doing.
Faiq Ahmad why?
@@MrFaiqueShakil she is.
Not even thousands Dua can match Tyler
@@MrFaiqueShakil she is
This song is just vibes, upon vibes, upon more vibes.. it’s now 3am and I’m still vibing 😂 The legendary Bonnie Tyler is eternal 🔥
God, Bonnie's outfit is pure ICON. The hair, the shoulder pads, the tassels, the sharp eye makeup, the earrings. Pure goddess material.
I love this. No body belts out the lyrics with passion like they used to these days .
Look up Cynthia Erivo. She sure does.
Nobody *on the radio
Nowdays they just have a shit Ton of voice filters and they just repeat one word in a loop
Sure they do, you just have to enter the realm of indie music to find it.
This song is still amazing after 35 years, Bonnie really is a talented woman.
After 35 years, if u were a woman was released in 1986 and it’s still one of my fav son ever
This is from 1986, not 2009

🎶You give love a bad name.🎶
I remember when this video came out and I was kinda blown away. It was not just the great visuals and Bonnie's sexy voice, but what was said! This great song by Bonnie Tyler is very prevalent now! Seems it was ahead of it's time. I LOVE Bonnie Tyler!
They simply don't make songs like this anymore, this is a masterpiece
It's like bon jovi song, "you give love a bad name"
@@kesantubagus1264 This is the original.
I think Sam Smith was inspired by this video... It's not derivative, but it visually is similar, in my mind, to his video for "Unholy." I do love Rambo turning into Marilyn Monroe, though... I need more of these things in my life!❤❤❤

How did this song not win #Eurovision?
Amazing 💪
Damn her vocal is out of this world
Love her voice
Bonnie Tyler is very a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice 😊Felicitations 👏🏻👏🏻🎤I love this song, I love Bonnie Tyler 😍
This song was composed by Desmond Child. He also wrote the song for Bon Jovi called "You Gave Love a Bad Name", that is why these two things have the same melody in the chorus.
2024??

The 80s are the golden era of music
Im so obsessed with the chorus. I feel like Rambo and Arnold wearing sunglasses and holding heavy gun ready for war. Thanks Ava max for brought me here.
I made a chorus compilation.
Some more obvious than others. Enjoy

What a extravaganza of a music video!! Wow wow wow. Brilliant production with a super catchy pop diddy. I have this masterpiece on 12" vinyl and a 7" vinyl. I ❤❤❤ Bonnie Tyler ❤❤❤ This should have been a big top ten record on the billboard hot 100. It was only top 10 in France where it reached number 6 smart people in France. Check out another song that sounds similar to this classic "Where Were You Last Night" by Swedish hottie Ankie Bagger its also fantastic ❤❤❤
Desmond Child is a musical genius.
One of my favorite song
"Shot through the heart.... and you're to blaaame....."
Such a great tune! No wonder Desmond reworked for Bon Jovi too. 2 amazing songs by 2 amazing artists from the same seed!
How did it take me 26 years to discover this song??
Ava's song is great, but nothing compares to the feeling old songs give, so i will always choose the original
Once i got to listen "Kings and Queens" by Ava Max, first thing in my mind was "this looks like the Bon Jovi song". Then i checked and saw Bon Jovi's song is sampled from Bonnie's LOL.
Pop music music evolving throughout the ages, iconic!!
I was born in 1972 and I didn't know that this song existed. The hook is so catchy that I'm surprised it didn't chart.
It did once Bon Jovi rewrote it as You Give Love A Bad Name.
It did in some European countries 🙂
A legendary classic. I still come back & it is still as exciting as the first time I heard it when I was a teenager! Time-defying masterpiece, and that voice, oh my God that voice!
The funny thing is that this clip is set to invoque discomfort, but all it invoques for me is a nostalgic security !
one of the most beautiful persons i have ever seen.
For more than 40 years that has been my opinion.
OMG we are getting old/er 😉
Wow this is brilliant. Bold stuff for 1986! Wow!
Bonnie Taylor is a legend and still going strong in music in 2021. Man and woman we ain't that different
As a 26 y.o who's time is a couple decade apart from this songs release. The hook is what got me into this song. The 80s still rock 4 decades later.
Speaking of the "hook" Desmond Child who was the songwriter for this song wasn't happy with the success of this song so he reused the "hook" (and bass vibe) on Bon Jovi's "You give love a bad name" a couple years later which smashed the charts.
The 80’s had its time and that time is long gone time to move on if we get stuck in one time period for too long it gets dull
Love you Bonnie Tyler for your songs and albums and acting ❤❤❤😊😊😇😇😍
Can we all just agree how fabulous Bonnie's dress is??!!
who came here after Ava Max king n queen?

Have i lost the fight
Where were you last night
actually, you're right, this is the original version of "you give love a bad name", before being reworked by desmond child and J. bon jovi & Richie Sambora.

This was a very good song. Loved the hook for the chorus...Desmond Child is great for that. He's worked with so many artists
Many artist may copy this song, But Bonnie Tyler will always be the best one
You're attacking Ava
Now let me tell you desmond child wrote kings and queens by Ava Max as its this song',s official remake
Bon jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name
it's not copy, it's called sampling and it's perfectly legal.

Bravo Bonnie❤
My favourite song.
If you were a woman and i was a man...

To all of the kings and the queens on their thrones...

"Shot through the heart, and you're to blame - darlin' You Give Love a Bad Name"
37 anos agora que vi a Bonnie cantando essa musica😊
I wish we could go back to this time in music history. It looks like there was so much fun, originality, and freedom! ❤❤❤
Follow the kings and the queens on the throne we will pop champions and…
While I know a lot people love “You give love a bad name” I personally think this is so much better day.
Can't stop listening. Her voice is so good!
