If I were a boy, even just for a day
I’d roll outta 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.
‘Cuz they’d stick up for me
O R U S :
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, ‘cuz I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
‘Cuz 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 [bad word] as I go
‘Cuz I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’for me [bad word] home [bad word] home)
O R U S
It’s a little too late for you [bad word] 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 (ooh)
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
‘Cuz you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed.
But you’re just a boy
