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
|
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
|
Because 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 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 would turn off my phone
|
Tell everyone its broken
|
So they think
|
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 (to come home)
|
|
If I were a boy
|
I think I could 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 its just a mistake
|
Think I forgive you like that
|
If you thought I would wait for you
|
You thought wrong
|
|
|
But you're just a boy
|
You don¡¯t understand (and you don¡¯t understand)
|
How it feels to love a girl
|
Someday you¡¯ll wish you were a better man
|
You don¡¯t listen to her
|
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 destroyed
|
But you're just a boy¡¦
