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

If I were a boy

I would turn off my phone

Tell everyone it''s broken

So they''d think that I was sleeping alone

I''d put myself first

And make the rules as I go

''Cause I know that she''d be faithful

Waiting 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

''Cause he''s taking 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''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

And you don''t understand, oh

How it feels to love a girl

Someday you 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''re taking her for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

But you''re just a boy
