If I Were a Boy

If I were a boy, even just for a day
I'd roll outta bed in the mornin'
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'd stick up for me

If I were a boy (if I were a boy)
I think I could understand (I think I could understand )
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man (I swear I'd be a better man)

I'd listen to her (I'd listen to her)
'Cause I know how it hurts ('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 (I'd put myself first)
And make the rules as I go (and make the rules as I go)
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waitin' for me to come home, to come home (come home)

If I were a boy (ah)
I think I could understand, oh (ah)
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her (ah)
'Cause I know how it hurts (I know it hurts, yeah)
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 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 (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 (you don't care how it hurts)
Until you lose the one you wanted (oh)
'Cause he's taken her for granted (for granted)
And everything you have got destroyed

But you're just a boy
