If I Were A Boy Lyrics - Singles - X Factor (us)

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 

'Cause 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 

'Cause I know how it hurts 

When you lose the one you wanted 

'Cause 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 

'Cause 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 

'Cause I know how it hurts 

When you lose the one you wanted 

'Cause 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 

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 

'Cause you're taking her for granted 

And everything you had got destroyed 

But you're just a boy
