If I Were A Boy Lyrics By Beyonce

    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 then 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’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 it’s broken
    so they’d think that i was sleepin’ alone
    i’d put myself first
    and make the rules as i go
    ’cause i’d know that she’d be faithful
    waitin’ 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 wanted
    ’cause he’s taken you for granted 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
    yeah you don’t understand oh
    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 have got destroyed
    but you’re just a boy
