IF I WERE A BOY

if i were a boy
even just for a day
id 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.
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 hes 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 know that shed 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.
id 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 its just a mistake think
id forgive you like that if you thought i would wait for you
you thought wrong
you know when you act like that
i don't think you realize
how it makes me look or feel
act like what why are you so jealous
it's not like i'm sleeping with the guy
what
what
i said yo why are you so jealous
it aint like i'm sleepin with the girl
but you’re just a boy
you don’t understand
yeah you don’t understand
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’ve taken her for granted
and everything you have got destroyed
but you’re just a boy
