If I Were A Boy - Lyrics

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 Id never get confronted for it
cause they'd 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 think
that I was sleeping alone
Id put myself first
and make the rules as I go
'cause I know that shed 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 Id be a better man
Id listen to her
'cause I know how it hurts
when you lose the one you wanted
cause hes 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'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
how it feels to love a girl
someday you'll 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 taken her for granted
and everything you had got destroyed

but you're just a boy...
