If I Were A Boy

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then 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’d 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 taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed.

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone its 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’d be faithful
Waitin 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 taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed.

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its 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
Yeah you don’t understand  Oooh
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’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed.
But you’re just a boy

如果我是男生
就算只有一天也好
我會在床上滾來滾去到天亮
可以盡情的摔東西，掉頭就走
可以和三五好友喝個爛醉
可以追著漂亮美眉跑
也可以揍扁那些討厭鬼
然後不在乎後果會如何
因為他們總看我不順眼

[Chorus]
如果我是男生
我想我會懂得
和女生戀愛的感覺
我發誓 會當個好男人
傾聽她的心聲
因為我了解被傷害的感受
當你失去了你所愛
因為他視你為理所當然
所有的一切都栽在他手裡

[Verse 2]
如果我是男生
我大可關掉手機
假裝手機摔壞了
讓大家以為我一個人睡
我可以只顧著自己
然後暢所欲為
因為我知道我的女孩，絕對忠心
乖乖等著我回家 (回家)

(Chorus)

[Bridge]
現在才想回頭，為時已晚
你說中間肯定有誤會
還以為我會原諒你
癡等著你回心轉意
那你真的錯了

(Chorus)
但 你只是男生
什麼都不了解
都不懂
愛上女生 是什麼感覺
你自許 成為好男人
卻不傾聽她的心聲
也不關心她的傷痛
直到 失去你所愛
因為你都視她為理所當然
你摧毀了她的一切
就因為 你是男生
