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 goDrink 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 stick up for meIf I were a boy, I think I could under stand
How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better manAnd I'd listen to her,'cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted, 'cause he's takin' you for granted
And everything you had got destroyedIf I were a boy, I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken, so they'd think that I was sleepin' aloneI'd put myself first and make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'll be faithful, waitin' for me to come home,
To come homeAnd if I were a boy, I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better manAnd I'd listen to her, 'cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted, 'cause he's takin' you for granted
And everything you had got destroyedIt's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake, think I'd for give you like that
If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrongBut you're just a boy, you don't understand, you don't understand
Oh, how it (feels to love a girl someday, you wish you were a better man
Oh, you don't listen to her, and you don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted, 'cause you're takin' her for granted
And everything you had got destroyedBut you're just a boy
