Beyonce - IF I WERE A BOY

Beyonce - IF I WERE A BOY

LYRICS


If I were a boy
Even just for a day
Id roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
Id 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 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
If I were a boy

I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they think that I was sleepin' 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

Its 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 dont understand (Yeah, you dont understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday youll 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 that had got destroyed
But you're just a boy
