  • 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 under stand
    How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man

    And I'd listen to her,'cause I know how it hurts
    When you lose the one you wanted, 'cause he's takin' 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 sleepin' alone

    I'd put myself first and make the rules as I go
    'Cause I know that she'll be faithful, waitin' for me to come home,
    To come home

    And 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

    And I'd listen to her, 'cause I know how it hurts
    When you lose the one you wanted, 'cause he's takin' 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 for give you like that
    If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong

    But you're just a boy, you don't understand, you don't understand
    Oh, how it (feels to love a girl someday, you wish you were a better man
    Oh, you don't listen to her, and you don't care how it hurts
    Until you lose the one you wanted, 'cause you're takin' her for granted
    And everything you had got destroyed

    But you're just a boy Writer/s: Carlson Brittany Jean, Gad Tobias
