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

You pple are crazy, this song is absolutely incredible!!!! Its nothing at all like Ciara’s fast put down track “Like a boy”!! this song is deep and full of meaning from a ballad standpoint. I am not one of her fans but as soon as I heard the lyrics, I fell in love with this hit!…and she really delivers a deeply emotional plea for men to WAKE the **** up!!!!
first off u can not compare ciara and beyonce theyre totally different… and there songs are different as well…..i love it beyonce~!!!
Yall r not gettin a cut of Ciara’s $. I agree this song is wats up stop riden’ ciara get off her jock…..Shes new 2 dis B is true 2 dis. Not 2 down C cause she has a few good records but B is doing ger thang. News Flash 99% of 2days song r old songs(nelly&kelly I luv u 4 ex.). who eva wrote d’s mis-spelled wated and evveryone
some of the lyrics is wrong!
but i love the song
i like the song,it sounds great,nothing’s change about beyonce’s greatness.good job beyonce,keep your career more irresistable.
This song is so LIVE, if you don’t like it don’t write it. So Ciara song has nothing to do with this song. I like it beyonce and forget the wanna be fans. Haters
