==========================================

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 then go

Drink beer with the guys
and chase after girls
I'd kick it a with
who I wanted
and I'd never get
confronted for it
cause they'd 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 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 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
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
Not 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
