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 And 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 'Cos they 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 'Cos I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted 'Cos he's taking 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 sleeping alone
I'd put myself first And make the rules as I go 'Cos I know that she'd be faithful Waiting 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 'Cos I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted 'Cos he's taking you for 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
You know, when you act like that? I don't think you realize how it makes me look, or feel
Act like what? Why are you so jealous? It's not like I'm sleeping with the guy
What?
What...
I say you why are you so jealous? It ain't like I'm sleeping with the girl.
But you're just a boy You don't understand And you don't understand, oh 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 'Cos you're taking her for granted And everything you had got destroyed But you're just a boy
