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 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

                        
Because 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

Verse 2:

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone its broken
So they think
that I was sleeping alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waiting for me 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

Bridge:

                                 
It’s a little too late for you to come back

                 
Say its just a mistake

                     
Think I 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 (yea you don’t understand)
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 had got destroyed

                        
But you're just a boy…

Thanks!=
