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 taken

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 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

If I were a boy

I think I could understand

Oh....

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

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

yeah, you don't understand

Oh...

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
