If I Were a Boy

If I were a boy, even just for a day
 ♪
 I'd roll outta bed in the mornin'
 And throw on what I wanted, then go
 ♪
 Drink beer with the guys
 And chase after girls
 I'd kick it with who I wanted
 And I'd never get confronted for it
 'Cause they'd stick up for me
 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 would turn off my phone
 
 Tell everyone 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
 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 (wanted)
 'Cause he's taken you for granted (granted)
 And everything you had got destroyed
 It's a little too late for you to come back
 Say it's just a mistake
 Think I'd forgive you like that
 If you thought I would wait for you
 You thought wrong
 But you're just a boy
 You don't understand
 Yeah, you don't understand, oh
 How it feels to love a girl, someday
 You'll 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
