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

People are so simple-minded nowadays. so what if ciara made a song w/ somethin bout a boy.there are so many songs u listening to right today that were made before these artists were even thought of,and who cares?Shes trying to send a message and i definately get it i love beyonce and her music,she did dat ****.Hatas please do what u do best and FALL BACK !! she said U SEE B HI HATERS!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH I CAN REALLY RELATE TO IT, LIKE I DO TO ALL BEYONCE SONGS. YOU GO GIRL AND ALL OF YALL HATERS KEEP DOING YO JOB.
That’s all there is to it and oh young people remember this :people talked about jesus christ-So the reason for saying that is, It dont matter if u the richest the poorest,the coolest the lamest WHATEVER u do reguardless of what it is good or bad SOMEBODY i repeat SOMEBODY gonna find fault in it,someway somehow.Thats the way i look at this situation .and w/that being said ,there are no amens or wtfucs,needed.take care of urselves and b blessed!.
NOW WATCH SOMEBODY RESPOND ANYWAY!!!ITS ALL GOOD DOE
Very misandric song. Don’t like it.
i didn’t like beyonce, but this song is amazing.. i love it…
I’ don’t like these lyrics. Especially this part:
”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”
Boys have feeling too. And there are a lot of men with respect for women and never cheat on their wives/girlfriends, listen to them, treat them as equals, the whole package. So stop generalizing please.
A FEMINIST SONG
That believes every boy is going to cheat
And at the same time do not ask
Why dos she love this kind of boy
That always disrespects her?
Maybe because she is a girl
And will always be
until the day that she learns what is to trust
And forget this nonsense idea
That make girls buy her albums
And never become women
Beyonce It’s better that you try not to be a boy
Because you may like being like that
And will forget about the sweetness of a “woman”
And will always be a girl
Because you will end up having a *****
And will never have your baby
What if she met that man
Who does understands everything she said?
She would cheat a lose him
Just because she thought I was like all the rest
And will end up being lonely
And always being cheated by the same type of boy too
