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 (Wanted) Cause he's taken you for granted (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
