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

this the best song i have ever heard!!!!!
this song is really good If I were a boy!!!!!!!
dont worry about what people say u wrote it and u wrote it from deep down inside ur heart u maybe wrote this song for a reason or maybe u just liked it and just wrote it for a reason but no one knows except for you!!!!!!
everyone who doesn’t like this song can go on with their own buisness!!!!
beyonce is a really good singer. she should keep it up and do wat she normally does! shes a good person and she has a good personality. good job beyonce! =D xD =p <3
From a man’s point of view this song is great. Some of the things that have been said about her are crazy. You young kids don’t know about love or what this song’s true meaning is. As a dude it makes you think about the things that you hav doen wrong in a relationship.
I think its a great song.
You spelled everyone “eweyone” but other than that it was great
I think that this is a great song, and that it has lotz of meaning to it, but i think that the version by BC Jean was better.
It was still a good song, but i am kinda dissapointed though. Hope that she does better mext time
YOU ROCK BEE!!!

For all the ppl hu hate it, continue on hating
she is just human like all of yaz so you cant say much, she has done a great job and i love listening to it. Me nd mi friendz think that itz so true and that we would like to be a boy for a day so that we could love a girl and not hurt her feelings and show her that all boys arent such jerks. I know what its like to have a boy dump you and hurt you. I hope that you listen to the lyrics and have a think and realise that you could one day wish that you werent hurt by a boy. If you dont think that this song has meaning then thats fine, but i think that you could all learn alot from it.
For all those who love this song, itz soooo great. I love the lyrics and they say soo much. Like you cant take anything for granted and that you need to put your self int the persons shoes and realise that life may not be so easy where their coming from. I would love to be a boy for a day and be able to listen to a girl and help her and show her some respect and not let a jerk of a boy control her and make her sad. I would let her know how special she is.
Nice job Bee, I love thi song. I have listened to it sooooo many times. Me and mi friends have made up a dance to it. We are goin gt o buy the CD this weekend. We cant wait
