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)

 Bridge:

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
