If I were a boy even just for one 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 Say 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 you've taking her 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, yeah right 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, to come home, to come home 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 thought wrong I want you to know that I'm happy for you And I want nothing but the best for you both And all the version of me, Mr. Duplicity I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced Baby, weren't you thinking of me when you, what? 'Cause the love that you gave that we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died Till you died but you're still alive And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross you bear when you did that You, you, you oughta know It's for just a boy, baby, you don't understand Until you lose the one you wanted 'Cause you've taken her for granted And everything you had got destroyed
