Track No: 01

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'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 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, oh-ooh
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 (Wanted)
'Cause he's taken you for granted (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 (Yeah, you don't understand, oh)
How it feels to love a girl someday
You'll 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
