If I were a boy, even just for a day,nI'd roll out of bed in the morning, and throw on what I wanted and go...nDrink beer with the guys, and chase after girls;nI'd kick it with who I wanted, and I'd never get confronted for it,n'Cause they stick up for me...nnIf I were a boy, I think I could understandnHow it feels to love a girl - I swear I'd be a better man...nI'd listen to her, because I know how it hurtsnWhen you lose the one you wanted 'cause he's taken you for granted,nAnd everything you had got destroyed...nnIf I were a boy, I would turn off my phone;nTell everyone it's broken, so they'd think that I was sleeping alone...nI'd put myself first, and make the rules as I go,nBecause I know that she'd be faithful, waiting for me to come home...nTo come home...nnIf I were a boy, I think I could understandnHow it feels to love a girl - I swear I'd be a better man...nI'd listen to her, because I know how it hurtsnWhen you lose the one you wanted (you wanted) 'cause he's taken you for granted, (for granted)nAnd everything you had got destroyed...nnIt's a little too late for you to come back,nSay it's just a mistake, think I'd forgive you like that;nIf you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong...nnBut you're just a boy... you don't understand...n(And you don't understand, oh...)nHow it feels to love a girl - someday, you'll wish you were a better man...nYou don't listen to her, you don't care how it hurts,nUntil you lose the one you wanted, 'cause you've taken her for granted,nAnd everything that you had got destroyed...nnBut you're just a boy...
