[Intro]
If I were a boy
If I were a boy

[Verse 1]
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of 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 wanted
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 (Ah)
I'd listen to her (Ah)
'Cause I know how it hurts (Ah)
When you lose the one you wanted (Ah)
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
[Verse 2]
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 (Go)
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waitin' for me to come home
To come home

[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand, oh-ooh
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man (Ah)
I'd listen to her (Ah)
'Cause I know how it hurts (Ah)
When you lose the one you wanted (Wanted)
'Cause he's taken you for granted (Granted)
And everything you had got destroyed

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand, oh-ooh
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man (Ah)
I'd listen to her (Ah)
'Cause I know how it hurts (Ah)
When you lose the one you wanted (Wanted)
'Cause he's taken you for granted (Granted)
And everything you had got destroyed
