If I Were a Boy Lyrics

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 goI'd 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 meIf I were a boy, I think I would understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a, a better manIf I were a boy I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping aloneI'd put myself first and make the rules as I go
Oh, 'cause I know that she'll be faithful
Waiting for me to come home
Whoa, to come homeIf I were a boy, I think I would understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a, a better manAnd I'd listen to her 'cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking 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 forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrongBut you're just a boy, you don't understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a, a better manOh, you don't listen to her
And you don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyedBut you're just a boy
