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

beyonce haters!! the song is a bit slow but I loved it… AND CIARA has nothing on Beyonce.
First of all, Beyonce is a beautiful woman and sure as hell doesn’t look like a boy. Whatever female said that is sittin at home right now wishin’ God made her look better than what she does now. STOP HATIN’!! 2nd of all i like the song and I think Beyonce has a beautiful voice that goes with it. But hey everyone has their own opinions. To everyone who is hatin’ kick rocks!! lol. oh and by the way Ciara doesn’t have **** on B. Keep dreamin’!!

i definitely love “if i were a boy”… my last boy acted like that so i can def. relate. first time i heard it, i was like “yesss!”. the lyrics spoke to me. as far as the other one, its alright, i only heard a piece of it. its probably going to be a big hit in the club.
shes still great though, i think this next album will be a hit.
it was… a no for me. but i still luv her up =]
I absolutley ” LOVE” this song…and as a singer who is always looking for a song that I can “feel ” this one is absolutley awesome…to hear this one just rings so true in so many aspects and it is put together beautifully in my eyes…it is a song that I will sing/listen to again…again…again and again!!!!! I also am not a giddy teenager…(No offence to you young spiritful ones) I am 44 years young… and this girl rocks at all she does! Good on you Beyonce!
#36 u are so correct
I love it Beyonce way to go
Video is awesome,
Don’t listen to the player haters your number one.
ohk! beyonce is the QUEEN and yea Rihanna did her thing this but now it’s B’s turn! I love this song cuz ii know so many can relate and she put her heart in this song! Ohk Ciara had like a boy but it’s not touchin this song and by the way Beyonce can sing so much better then Ciara… she can only dance. So let’s stop hatin on B and allow her to grace her way back to the top!
This song is amazing,
if youve been hurt by a boy you can relate to it really well!
ive played it over and over again.
da song its iight but its alil 2 sow for my liking. I like da meanng behind it. if it was a faster it be hot!!! Other than dat it good.
Omg i love this song!!! I can relate to this so well. When I first heard this song I was like OMG did she sing this song just for me, it fits perfectcly to my similar situation … I think that it’s a new sound for Beyonce but I think that she worked with it well. Although Ciara did a song titled “like a boy” i think that Beyonce’s “if i were a boy” is totally different, there is more emotion involved and you can hear the emotion in her singing… I think it’s an awesome song… Im expecting her new album to be awesome.
SaMm!e BoO
