BEYONCE - “IF I WERE A BOY” LYRICS

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 wated
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.

[Chorus]
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 could turn off my phone
Tell evveryone 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 she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)

(Chorus)

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

(Chorus)

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

i love it beyonce keep it up! and i love your outfits your mom made you

i hate ALL yall 4 talkin’ bout’ beyonce

this is as awesome song. i cried the first time i heard it. i dont know anything about it being a ripoff of the ciara song, but this song is very powerful to me and her voice comes across so pure. incredible song! i can totally relate to it.

I think there is to many haters, just wanna say that i love the song and that yes it talks about the same subject of ciara song like a boy, but the lyric its totally different , people its not just about the bip! put attention to the lyric first and then make your opinion!

Sooo love this song…yea Ciara did something similar but if ur a female that has had issues with a man both Beyonce’s song and Ciara’s song can help u cope…stop hatin on my girl B…she is the bomb…and can’t none of u guys see her…so give it up and go cop her new album!!

I like the song it’s good. I do think it’s dumb that she did that bc ciara did something similar but i still like it and her video was interesting. Oh and for the haters ya are gonna start singing so shut up and let her be….whether ciara did it or not they are both getting paid and ur not so shut up you bum lollll!!!!!…lata
