| 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
|
| I’d drink beer with the guys
|
| And chase after girls
|
| I’d make out with who I wanted
|
| And never get busted for it
|
| 'Cause they stick up for me
|
| If I were a boy
|
| I’d think that I’d 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 could just turn off my phone
|
| And tell her that it’s broken
|
| So she thinks 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 (waiting for me)
|
| If I were a boy
|
| I think that I’d 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
|
| It’s a little too late for you to come back
|
| Say it’s just a mistake, think God would forgive you like that
|
| If you thought that I would wait for you, you thought wrong
|
| But you’re just a boy
|
| You don’t understand (you don’t understand)
|
| How it feels to love a girl
|
| Someday, you wish you were a better man, oh
|
| You don’t listen to her
|
| You don’t care how it hurts
|
| Until you lose the one you wanted
|
| 'Cause he’s taken you for granted
|
| And everything you had got destroyed
|
| But you’re just a boy |
