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

honestly, i find it quite pathtic that half of you are saying shes copying ciara.
WHO GIVES A FLYING COW.
beyonce has been around much longer then ciara and isn’t going to give up.
i don’t care if you don’t like her
she’s much different from my taste of music but this is my favorite songs.
so cares if ciara has a song called “like a boy” and beyonce has a song called “if i were a boy”

look how many other famous singers have pretty much the same songs as others.
what about the people that do covers? going to ***** about them too?
because im sure everyone saying this stuff bout beyonce likes a famous singer that did one.
so you might as well back of her case.
shes got talent.

A lot of you are hating on Bee. The girl is very talented. So what if Ciara’s song and this one have SIMILAR titles, (how many other artist have similar titles!!). Ciara and Beyonce’ have two totally different sounds and styles, so no their songs are not the same. Stop hating and give the girl her props!!!

I absolutely love this song, soo… Beyonce! You go girl!

WT EVA BEYONCES WASA BETTER DAN CIARA SO KISS HER ASSS HATERS

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
