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

ya’ll ******* stop complaining, beyonce da ****
beyonce new song is hot!!!yall some haters on her…for all you haters you need to go to you tube in check out her song just for you!! called “cant take no more”
y did she do BC Jean like dat. I don’t even think the girl has been out that long and she might not be that popular but Gosh come on. Does she think she can run over less popular ppl and take their songs and run wit it? SMH
AAAARRRGH I FREAKINH LOVE BEYONCE ABD HER SONGS. THERE AMAZING!!!!
omg yalllll so effin retarded ciara and beyonce have 2 different meanings
…
this song is about she’ll know how it feels to be disrespected by a boy or bein treated bad
and ciara is like sayin “how the fucc you’ll like it if i fucced yo homeboy!?” or juss cheat on her
listen to the song
This song is amazing.
It has nothing to do with Ciara’s song…
The meaning is so much deeper…
Than some hip hop song…
With a great beat…
Amazing Beyonce!

sexayy
ii ♥ it
its so effin COOLL
(:
Ugh. the lyrics aren’t the same but she is DEFINETLY copying Ciara’s concept of ‘like a boy’
Just like how she tried to belly dance in her old videos then Shakira (a legit belly dancer) came around and she resorted to some strange African dance.
i usually don’t like beyonce but this song is alright and I dont think its the same as Ciara’s “like a boy”, i feel they have different meanings and totally different beats…
i love this song. beyonce did it again like she always does.
original sonq came from this chic http://www.myspace.com/bcjean
You guys are all gay! just an FYI
You GUYS that are commenting this is stupid! just an FYI
i think this is a really nice song….and if none of you ppl notice that artist learn from one another no one is original they get things from other artist….and Anastacia ciara can barely sing…. it sound someone like a country song i like the new idea!
ummmm i dnt kno wut sum of yall r tlkn bout this song bangs for real
i love it so all yall haters call ya self tryna clown her music n half of yall prolly cant even sing. but wut ever this this si my sh*t so get it bey i love #1 fan ya already kno
o n one mor e thng not tryna call nobody out but Liana, Anastacia and anne she aint no ciara wonna be dat bi*ch caint even sing and she dnt try to clown her about her writing credit it dnt matter how much of the damn song she wrote she claim her credit if she wants to n these aint even no where close to the lyrics n ciara’ song like a boy so get it right
such a good song. she always sings from the soul. shes amazing. better than ANY other female artist. no one realizes that she writes songs about realistic and interesting things she doesnt follow trends she always does her own thing and others follow. if she wanted she could have a million materialistic songs that are just like all the other songs on the radio and maybe she could sell more albums but shes not into that. beyonce is the best forever and always!! love beyonce she can hit every note and beautifully. GO BEE!!
sounds like she’s copying ciara
WTH?
tbh id like to see any of you lot do a better song lol
how is this a ciara copy when ciaras is LIKE A BOY and this is IF I WERE A BOY?
i think you need to get to know your tunes LOOOOOOL
I love Beyonce to death but her ballads are a bit boring but full of emotion! If I didn’t read the lyrics to this song I wouldn’t have liked it, but with lyrics I get a better understanding of what she’s saying and I was moved by it. I agree she did copy Ciara. That’s pretty obvious. It’s okay to copy eachother’s idea though to see who’s is better.
Well I hope her dance hits are better. I really loved Beautiful Nightmare wow wow wow. I can’t wait to watch the video for “if i were a boy” Beyonce give it to us baby! As someone said, keep singing to my soul! lmao
ummm… ” If I were a boy”?? is this what her carrerr has come to!?
you people are STUPID!!!!! just because she didn’t wrote half the song she doesn’t deserve a credit!!! **** YOU PEOPLE!!!!, RIHANNA DON”T WRITE her songs but give her credits!!! people are really stupid, they condemn those talented people and give props to those ******* who doesn’t even know how to write a song!!! CIAR BEtter than beyonce? that’s stupid! she can’t even sing, she looked like a ******* at fashion rocks singing JUST STAND UP with the A-listers, she should be replaced by A-keys and rihanna should have been replaced by xtina!
