If I Were A Boy

If I Were A Boy lyrics Songwriters: Carlson, Britney; Gad, Toby; Knowles, 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 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 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 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'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 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
