OlderBeyonce - “If I Were A Boy” Lyrics
Check out Beyonce’s new hard-hitting ballad, “If I Were a Boy”, the first single from her upcoming as-yet-titled album.

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

YAll N33d tA St0P hATiN
I LOVE IT…!!! 1st off its NOTHIN like ciara’s song…shows how much yinz no! Plus Beyonce bets ciara anyday anyway..! Bet all u haters will be sining it n a week anyhow.!!
to concerned citizen:for you to say stop throwing rocks at boys shows just how ignorant you are because if the right boy comes along and he’s NOT like the one beyonce is talking about in the song it won’t matter what “rocks” have been thrown at him by other girls. he will stop at nothing to get to you.
for the rest of you talking to hear yourselves talk, lets get real. how many albums has she sold? more than you. how many #1 hits has she had? more than you. clearly she knows what she’s doing. for all of you saying she copied ciara…please. beyonce took this song and gave it a deeper meaning than ciara’s. and you don’t truly understand what she’s talking about until you have gone through it. at least she’s making you think. or maybe that’s why you don’t like it so much; you’re not smart enough to understand the meaning.
keep up the good work beyonce. im looking forward to the new album :]
I like it! Watch the video. It all comes together.
the song is wow, kip up jay-be. how comes your hips sometimes shrinks? am just curious.

I like this song but i dont love it like single ladies
You guys need to get a LIFE! Ylike or not she’s living her life and will still do what she does best. So quit hatting and just let her be! She did great and could care less about your comments. Worry about yourselves and just concentrate on your lives and quit being so judgemental..it’s not getting you anywhere in life!
ok everyone lets get some perspective. she is not a ciara wanna be, she didnt copy the song from her, and no she doesnt look like a boy.
this song is awesome. you’re all insane.
ciara’s song has a completely different title, and the songs are different.
kthnxbye.
I actually like it. Its not ur typical beyonce song. The first time I heard it I immediately thought Ciara like a boy but even though its the same concept they r very different songs. I love the way beyonces voice sounds on this song (well she never sounds bad) she’s singing this song with so much feeling and im really happy she went with a different sound for her first single cuz as much of a fan u can be a lot of her songs start to sound the same.
I can’t wait for the album!
I LOVE IT,YOURE THE BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD,I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH,YOURE THE BEST,FROM LEDA KOSOVO
wow! i love it. its amazing beyonce sings it better than bc jean

xxxxx u go girl xxxxxxx
i love this song i have it on my bebo
i don’t understand how people can’t love it i love beyonce
she is amazing x
This is a new low in pop music. When I heard the song introduced on the radio and I heard the title I thought “this is going to be bad.” nothing could have prepared me for the cringe-worthy lyrics, the pretentious overwrought arrangement and Beyonce’s breathless over-emotive delivery in the verses and her tinny screaming through the choruses.
I think the song is poppin’…it reminds me of my situation
