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 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 taking 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
(**)
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 But you're just a boy You don't understand
And 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're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed But you're just a boy
The song's lyrics are both a lament for misunderstanding between the genders and an indictment of the male side of relationships. "If I Were a Boy" was generally well received by music critics, who complimeted Knowles' tormented and emotive vocal performance, and called the song her best work to date. (wikipedia)
