Scene Five: If I Were A Boy: If I Were A Boy/California Love/You Oughta Lyrics - Beyoncé

1 If I were a boy

2 Even just for a day

3 I'd roll out of bed in the morning

4 And throw on what I wanted and go

5 Drink beer with the guys

6 And chase after girls

7 I'd kick it with who I wanted

8 And I'd never get confronted for it

9 'Cause they'd stick up for me

10 [Chorus]

11 If I were a boy

12 I think I could understand

13 How it feels to love a girl

14 I swear I'd be a better man

15 I'd listen to her

16 'Cause I know how it hurts

17 When you lose the one you wanted

18 'Cause he's taken you for granted

19 And everything you had got destroyed

20 If I were a boy

21 I would turn off my phone

22 Tell everyone it's broken

23 So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

24 I'd put myself first

25 And make the rules as I go

26 'Cause I know that she'd be faithful

27 Waiting for me to come home (to come home)

28 [Chorus]

29 It's a little too late for you to come back

30 Say it's just a mistake

31 Think I'd forgive you like that

32 If you thought I would wait for you

33 You thought wrong

34 But you're just a boy

35 You don't understand

36 Yeah, you don't understand

37 How it feels to love a girl someday

38 You wish you were a better man

39 You don't listen to her

40 You don't care how it hurts

41 Until you lose the one you wanted

42 'Cause you've taken her for granted

43 And everything you have got destroyed

44 But you're just a boy
