If I Were A Boy

Beyonce

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
