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
|
cause they stick up to me
|
|
------------------------------------
|
[Chorus]
|
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 taking 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'd think that I was sleeping alone
|
|
I’d put myself first and make the rules as I go
|
|
Cause I know that she’ll be faithful,
|
waiting for me to come home, to come home.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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 taking 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 i'd 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, oh-
|
|
How it feels to love a girl
|
Someday you 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're taking her for granted
|
|
And everything you had got destroyed
|
But you're just a boy
|
|
|
