If I were a Boy
I Like BC Jean's version better. bcjean.net



I like the rock edge on BC's vocal, reminds me of Janis Joplin's.

The edge is missing on Beyonce's vocal, which make it sounds like another pop song. A bit... flat? I guess.

If I were a boy,
Even just for a day.
Id roll out of bed in the morning and throw on want I wanted and go.
Id drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
Id make out with who ever I wanted
And never get busted for it
Because they would stick up for me

If I were a boy
Id think that Id understand
How it feels to love a girl
And I swear Id be a better man
Id listen to her
Cuz I know how it hurts
When u lose the one you wanted
Cuz his taken you for granted
And every thing you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I could just turn off my phone
and tell her that its broken
so shell think
that I was sleeping alone
Id put myself first
and make the rules as I go
cause i know that
shell be faithful
waiting for me to come home
if I were a boy
I think that Id understand
how it feels to love a girl
I swear Id be a better man
Id listen to her
cause I know how it hurts
when you lose the one you wanted
cuz hes taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed!

Its a little too late for you to come back
Say Its just a mistake think that God would forgive you like that
If you thought that I would wait for you, you thought wrong

But youre just a boy
You dont understand
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish youre were a better man
You dont listen to her
You dont care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
cuz hes taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed
but you are just a boy
