    Lyrics

    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.

    [Chorus]
    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)

    [Chorus]

    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

    You know when you act like that
    I don't think you realize how it makes me look
    Or feel

    Act like what
    Why are you so jealous
    It's not like I'm sleeping with the guy

    What

    What

    I said yo
    Why are you so jealous
    It ain't like I'm sleeping with the girl

    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
