If I were a boy,
Even just for a day.
I'd roll out of bed in the morning and throw on want I wanted and go.
I'd drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I never get confronted for it
Because they stick up for me
If I were a boy
I'd think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cuz I know how it hurts
When u lose the one you wanted
Cuz his taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/beyonce/if_i_was_a_boy.html ]
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they think
That I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that
She be faithful
Waiting for me to come home (COME HOME)
If I were a boy
I'd think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cuz I know how it hurts
When u lose the one you wanted
Cuz his taken you for 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 would 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
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you're were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cuz you taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed!
But you just a boy.
