If I Was a Boy

Sometimes l wish l could

Be transformed and be

Someone else, envy!

Yes l could be the boy l’ve always wanted to be

Envy! Yes l could wear

A brand new face

Someone who cannot

Be wrong

Yes l could throw away

My dresses. My legs

Would be big and strong

Or l wish to steal all my pearls and not be a girl

Envy! Or l wish l could kill

My doll, start playing

Football, envy!

Yes l want to beat up

My teacher

I wanna be a hero

I wanna ride upon my chopper

I wanna be a cowboy

(Refrain A)

If l was a boy

Riding through the night

Riding

If l was a boy

Fighting all the

Fights fighting

I would jump over

Your defences

I know we could have a ball, and l could multiply

My chances, and l

Could play Rock ‘n Roll

( Refrain B)

If l was a boy

Racing through the

Night racing

If l was a boy

Playing with the band playing

I would be all dressed up in leather, l’d cruise around on my bike

And l could fight up

With my father

Like all the boys who can fight

Sometimes l wish l could be transformed and be someone else, envy

Yes l could be the boy

I’ve always wanted to be

Envy. But l’ve got to go on wearing dresses

Cause l know l’m not a boy. And there is nothing more depressing: l really love the boys!

( Refrain A & B)

……………

If l was a boy, riding

Through the night riding

If l was a boy, fighting

All the fights fighting

I would jump over

Your defences

Maybe we could have

A ball. And l could multiply my chances

And l could play rock ‘n roll

If l was a boy…

If l was a boy…

If l was a boy
