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
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 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

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

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
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.
