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

this song isnt bad for her voice. Its different. this song is real though some people may not like it because they think she stole this from Ciara not true Like a boy is completly different read the lyrics!!!!!!!! over all not bad and I took this song @ heart it did blow me away
Boys and girls have different wants and needs. Neither is wrong, just different. So GROW UP and stop throwing rocks at boys…Sooner or later you will want one to love you, but they won’t love you, since they’ve had stones thrown at them by girls for far too long.
ii LOVE this sOnq!
iiTsz sOO TRUUE!!
whOeva dOnnt likee iiT….
qOtta be cusz they KNO iTsz tRuee! Nnd either they’Re sinLe Or they’Re MAN shOwsz NO lOve!!
I love it! Not only because Beyonce makes it great, but it’s really relatable and heartfelt. I don’t think you would like the song if you never felt the emotions she’s trying to convey in this song. I always liked the concept of Ciara’s “Like A Boy” but I didn’t like the sound of it. They sound totally different, so she’s not copying her, it’s a common topic. There are millions of songs about heartbreak, finding new love… so what, there can only be ONE song about how much different it would be if we acted like boys?
This is to all the haters especially Anastacia…1st. Ciara has nothing on Beyonce.. 2nd. their songs sound nothing alike.. && 3rd. Ciara cant sing, she has nice songs but be real beside rihanna, Beyonce is the best in the game…This song is a HIT…

Ya’ll haters need to shut the **** up..this song slaps hard in the bay like yeee. We love miss beyonce, and if ya’ll don’t like it then don’t listen to it you squarebears with no hair because you probably use nair.
I think it’s a nice song, but it;s not like every single guy is like this, it’s opposite is a song about how girls are just all whores and they will trick you for money.
Not the way to go about changing things.
