[ti:If I were a boy] [ar:Beyonce] [al:] [00:02.02]If I were a boy even just for one day [00:12.77]I'd roll out of bed in the morning [00:16.58]And throw on what I wanted [00:18.99]And go drink beer with the guys [00:28.48]And chase after girls [00:35.23]I'd kick it with who I wanted [00:37.50]And I'd never get confronted for it [00:41.61]'Cause they stick up for me [00:43.86]Say if I were a boy [00:49.87]I think I could understand [00:56.30]How it feels to love a girl [00:59.09]I swear I'd be a better man [01:06.02]I'd listen to her [01:10.84]'Cause I know how it hurts [01:17.53]When you lose the one you wanted [01:20.08]'Cause you've taking her for granted [01:23.29]And everything you had got destroyed [01:27.75]If I were a boy [01:32.03]I would turn off my phone [01:39.00]Tell everyone it's broken [01:41.54]So they'd think that I was sleeping alone, yeah right [01:48.36]I'd put myself first [01:52.92]And make the rules as I go [01:59.94]'Cause I know that she'd be faithful [02:03.09]Waiting for me to come home [02:07.45]To come home, to come home, to come home [02:11.92]It's a little too late for you to come back [02:17.14]Say it's just a mistake, think I'd forgive you like that [02:22.16]If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong [02:37.47]I want you to know that I'm happy for you [02:46.47]And I want nothing but the best for you both [02:54.96]And all the version of me, Mr. Duplicity [02:59.36]I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner [03:03.90]It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced [03:08.41]Baby, weren't you thinking of me when you, what? [03:13.83]'Cause the love that you gave that we made [03:15.54]Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no [03:22.79]And every time you speak her name [03:25.24]Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died [03:28.80]Till you died but you're still alive [03:32.31]And I'm here to remind you [03:36.12]Of the mess you left when you went away [03:40.93]It's not fair to deny me [03:45.48]Of the cross you bear when you did that [03:49.55]You, you, you oughta know [04:04.01]It's for just a boy, baby, you don't understand [04:14.93]Until you lose the one you wanted [04:18.04]'Cause you've taken her for granted [04:21.10]And everything you had got destroyed
