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

Thing is Beyonce has been in the game long enough for girls, upcoming artist, and current artist to mark what she has succeed within her time as an artist, fashion designer, and performer. Beyonce is not remaking a song, (clearly) She is giving a more mature understanding crowd a better understanding lyrically of what Ciara performed. Ciara showed us a story, Beyonce is telling us from a different perspective. Take time to think before you speak. Talk about the one who doesn’t notice you, because you know their better. Exactly what a lot of you have done. Cheerio! wink*just smile

Ciara writes most of her song and the songs has good meaning but everyone is not going to like and that is there opinion so deal with it eveyone don’t have to like beyonce some people don’t care for her jsut deal with it and stop responding to everything someone writes you have to much free time. Clearly
First off ciara did “Like a Boy” and they are two different tracks listen carefully to both instead of just trying to sya beyonce is stealing from ciara just becuase the song titles both have the word boy in them.Yu ppl need to get a life and stop hatin od Beyonce she is working hard 4 hers so leave her be.nd if yu dnt like her new single there are millions off ppl who will.TRUST!!!!!!!!!

IF I WERE A BOI ID HER LOL JK THIS SONG IS OK BUT WHY WOULD SOME ONE WANT TO BE A BOI WHO WOULD WANT TO CARRY A DING DONG AROUND AWAH DISCUSTING NE WAYZ BEYONCE NEEDS A ****……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
n to everyone on here saying that the song belongs to BC Jean n that beyonce is a copycat, u all really need to do research on how the music industry works. they allow a few people to record the song. then it boils down to whos more popular (beyonce) , who would pay more for the song (beyonce) n who would make more of a profit off of it to get the writers name out there. (again beyonce) so sorry BC Jean fans she’s just not known…get ova it.
ID DO HER TOO
SHUT THE HELL UP
this is my new favorite song
Wow. What a bunch of idiots. This song is bad ass. Stop being a hater. And she is way Better than ciara
Umm..for all yu haterz out there shut the **** up! Beyonce is a great artist there is no play off of ciara’s weak ass! Besides ciara is the one like a boy oh wait she used 2 be one! Levae beyonce alone. Stay up girl!
BEyonce is the F***ING **** we all know it. Has she ever disapointed her fans i dont think so.. Love her long time. Cant wait to hear more..
Ok I was just reading all of the comments.. I take offense to anyone that compares Ciara to Beyonce lets think about that for just a few seconds………………………………… Ok Beyonce has been around for the past forever and Ciara is nobody.
i love this song!!!its great maybe one of the best beyonce has ever made!!!i think every woman can relate!!!
I LOOOOOVE THIS FRICKEN SONG BEYONCE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm yea ciaras song is diff from beyonces the same concept diff. Senarios, all yall are haters I love it 2, and why would beyonce wannabe be ciara, beyonce has everything ciara has and 50x more so yea ciaras the ****, but beyonce has way better vocals, and there’s no comparison ciara is hip hop & r&b beyonce is pop & r&b, and beyonce does produce & write her own songs, u can only name a few songs beyonce has redone and put on her albums, everybody else cowrites her songs so stop hatin, nobody can touch beyonce.. ****** losers, Go BEE!! Ur the ****..
