[Verse 1] If I were a boy Even just for a day Id roll out of bed in the morning And throw on what I wanted and go Id drink beer with the guys And chase after girls Id kick it with who I wanted And Id never get confronted for it Because theyd stick up for me [Chorus] If I were a boy a boy I think I would understand How it feels to love a girl I swear Id be a better man [Verse 2] If I were a boy I would turn off my phone Tell everyone its broken So theyd think that I was sleeping alone Id put myself first And make the rules as I go Because I know that shed be faithful Waiting for me to come home, oh, to come home [Chorus] If I were a boy I think I would understand How it feels to love a girl I swear Id be a a better man And Id listen to her Because I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted Because hes taking you for granted And everything you had got destroyed [Bridge] Its a little too late for you to come back Say its just a mistake, think Id forgive you like that If you thought I would wait for you You thought wrong [Chorus] But youre just a boy You dont understand How it feels to love a girl Someday youll wish you were a, a better man Oh, you dont listen to her And you dont care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted Cause youve taken her for granted And everything you had got destroyed [Outro] But youre just a boy
