Song lyrics
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 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, oh-oh-oohh-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 got it wrong 

But you're just a boy 
And you don't understand (yea, 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 
Because you've taken her for granted 
And everything you had got destroyed 

But you're just a boy

This song is PATHETIC!!!! What was she thinking??? If she were a boy she'd have the common sense of not writing such an idiotic song. Let's thank God she's not a boy, what a waste of testosterone she would be. LOL

It's not pathetic! Well,it's not the best song ever but at least she's telling the truth in the lyrics. She's just trying to show to everyone how boys should treat girls in the right way because if they lose her then they'll regret it in the end. And I don't think she wants to turn into a boy anyway,she doesn't need testosterone hahaha

I don't think she'd be pathetic if she was a boy. I think if she was a boy than any girl would love to go out with her...I love this song, it's true that sometimes guys just take girls for granted, and when they're there you don't treat them right and you don't notice or care about their feelings but once they're gone you see how much they really mean to you, and hopefully you'll know how to treat your girl next time...

It's a bit boring at times, but it's still good. And some of you people need to really get over it... it's just a song, don't kill yourself about it.

I gotta say that I've had more respect for young lady Beyonce than I've had for many other female singers. Untill this song. Sure I guess we are all used to hearing these "women are treaded so bad by their butch rockband boyfriends who don't listen to them"-songs, and some ppl like them while others don't.

So if I now would write a song about if I were a girl "I wouldn't backstab my friends and be a controlfreak who tries to make my bf act like some1 he's not coz I saw it on Gossip Girl", would it get recorded? I think not.
