If I Were A Boy
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 then go
drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
i'd kick it with who i wanted
and 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 taken you for granted
and everything you had got
destroyed
if i were a boy
i'd turn off my phone
tell everyone its broken
so they'd think i was sleep'n alone
i'd put myself first
and make the rules as i go
'cause i know she'd be faithful
waitin' for me 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 taken you for granted
and everything you had got
destroyed
its a little to late for you to come back
say its just a mistake
think i'd forgive you like that
if you thought i would wait for you
you thought wrong
but youre just a boy
you dont understand
how it feels to love a girl
someday
you wish you were a better man
you dont listen to her
you dont care how it hurts
until you lose the one you wanted
'cause you've taken her for granted
and everything you had got
destroyed
but youre just a boy
even just for a day
i'd roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what i wanted then go
drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
i'd kick it with who i wanted
and 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 taken you for granted
and everything you had got
destroyed
if i were a boy
i'd turn off my phone
tell everyone its broken
so they'd think i was sleep'n alone
i'd put myself first
and make the rules as i go
'cause i know she'd be faithful
waitin' for me 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 taken you for granted
and everything you had got
destroyed
its a little to late for you to come back
say its just a mistake
think i'd forgive you like that
if you thought i would wait for you
you thought wrong
but youre just a boy
you dont understand
how it feels to love a girl
someday
you wish you were a better man
you dont listen to her
you dont care how it hurts
until you lose the one you wanted
'cause you've taken her for granted
and everything you had got
destroyed
but youre just a boy
