If i were a boy

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I´d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then 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´d stick up for me
{Refrain:}
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 could 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)
{au Refrain}
It´s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I´d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
{au Refrain}
But you´re just a boy
You don´t understand
Yeah you don´t understand
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´ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you´re just a boy
Even just for a day
I´d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then 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´d stick up for me
{Refrain:}
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

´Cause he´s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I could turn off my phone
Tell everyone it´s broken
So they´d think that I was sleepin´ alone
I´d put myself first
