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 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'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 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, oh-ooh

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 (Wanted)

'Cause he's taken you for granted (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 (Yeah, you don't understand, oh)

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've taken her for granted

And everything you have got destroyed

But you're just a boy
