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
