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

it’s a good song.
Ciara didnt’ do this song, two different songs, with different meanings. You Rock Beyonce
First off B.C Jean sounds horrible, For all you people who are saying Beyonce stoled ” If I were a boy” please do your research. Beyonce is talented and well established she doesn’t need to steal anyone songs, how would she look to the public? That would ruin her career. Beyonce sung this songm with such beauty and grace. You could hear the pain in her voice. B.C Jean sounds like she is being strangled. Beyonce you Rock
Classss songgg !! :L
xx
you would love it , if you were ever in this situation before ! i love it so true
to all the people that say ciara did this song already.
beyonce >>>>>>>>>>>>>>ciara.
the truth right there.
I love this song i think most women can relate.. this kinda reminds me of my ex anyways i dnt think it sounds or is anything like ciara’s like a boy stop hating ppl
everybody needs to shut the **** up! this **** is HOT just like everything else that Beyonce does. watch all the people talking about her will be the main one’s singing the song. the girl is a guiness! she is the best thing out…and Ciara and Beyonce’s versions of the songs are TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!
i like it, i mean its different from the other stuff she s put out, but its good
Beyonce is the greatest and always will be!!!!!! This song has NOTHING to do with “like a boy “from Ciara. Beyonce does not have to COPY any artist. Trust that –all u hatas. What differnce does it make if beyonce nephew wrote the song? Do you hatas not know that all the artist do NOT write their lyrics? I normally do not post –but this is some bull.
For that THING that said Be looks like a BOY, you just mad bcuz you WILL neva get the time of day BE gets. ( yeah this board is all about BEYONCE nobody else…get it????)
Beyonce, do your thang gurl….keep makin that money. Smile at these hatas, they are like energy drinks.
this is an awsome song i love it so much

i really love this song, i think that this song really relates to everyday relationships and me myself, i can really relate, i actually want to thank her for putting forth this song because it will make a lot of guys think about the way they act when thet are in relationships.
I love this song! You all can talk your hate about the song but it’s not like Ciara! Beyonce has style, skill and sassy! I’m happy to see her back! So don’t be jealous, it’s not like your getting paid to leave comments.
