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

The song is hot, yeah ciara did something like this but if people listen to both songs they are different in away but some lyrics are the same. this song is more emotional and cc is not. Big Up B good song.
This is probably the first song by Beyonce I like. Actually I love it, I loved it the first time I heard it yesterday.
You haters are just not getting it.
It’s emotional and raw…quite brilliant.
It’ll be a MASSIVE hit.
love the song….
laana– you’re probably disgusting looking in person.. so i wouldnt go talking about a superstar whos stunning.. i love my girl beyonce n i think this song is hot- doesnt even sound similar to ciara’s.
i think the song’s really really good. the people who are hatin on it are people who are just jealous cause they’re not pretty, they’re probably fat, and they’ve never had a real releationship with real problems. :]
i love this song it makes me wuna sit down and think.. I’m addicted to this song :/
[keep doing ur thangg b]
I DON’T MEAN NO HARM BUT WHOEVER HOME GURL OR HOME BOY WAS TALKIN ABOUT HOW PPL GON START LIKIN IT WHENEVER IT COMES ON THE RADIO…. PLZ DO US ALL A FAVOR AND SPEAK 4 URSELF PLZ….. BEYONCE DIS SONG CAN B BETTER I MEAN SOUNDS GREAT BUT COME OPN B I EXPECTED DAR SASHA 2 COME OUT ON YOU….. MAYBE YOU SUD DO A DUET WIT MY GURL JENNIFER HUDSON CUZ SHE DOING THE THING RITE NOW…. WHAT’S WRONG (GO AWAY) FT. T-PAIN NOW DATS FIRE JENNIFER!!!!!
um yea ******* sumbody else might sing this song but the queen B sing it better stop the hating ddum ass *******..
I love it!
This song has nothing to do with Ciara’s song.
It’s just the same theme, but the lyrics and music are entirely different.
It’s not unusual to have the same theme on different songs.
BTW, I love Like A Boy too.
i lovee thiss songg .
i think everyyone can relatee too it
(:
</3
firsttt of all. ciara’s sonq is like a boy. nd ciara talks bout beinq how mostt quyss are now a dayss.. all ********. beyonce is talkinq bout sumthin totallyy different. qreatt sonq. i love itt.. do ur thinq qirll
nd who cares if someone sanq this sonq b4 beyonce. dont most sinqers come out wid re-makes ?
Beyonce didn’t write this song. It’s someone else’s, she just did a cover. The original is better.
i only got 2 hear this song 1 time, but i really liked it & i can’t wait til i can hear it more…
I love the song!!! hot Track another #1 hit for Bee
AWESOME!!!!! She does it again!! Amazing! People come on! Ciara has got nothing on Beyonce. I get goosebumps all over my body when i’m listening to this song.
Dis song is poppin……… everything she says in dis song describes my boyfriend! They hurt their girlfriends cause they don’t kno how it feels and after they noticed that what they really wanted and needed is gone, they want to come back and its 2 late!! I hope my boyfriend learns a lesson from this song!
love this song with all my heart yea it is kind like the slow version of like a boy by ciara but its a lil deeper thn tht song i like both but id listen to this song if i was sad n then if i was mad listen to ciaras like a boy theyre both great songs but ciara cannot sing like beyonce 4 all u haters who dont like it cuz beyonce “jocked’ off ciaras song
