If I were a boy
Just for once
I would dress as I want
With what I see first and I'm gone
I'd go out looking for girls by the dozen
My friends who are loyal
They'll always accompany me until the end
Every night to lie
Chorus 1
If I were a boy
I know that I could know
To understand much better
What it is to love a woman
I would know how to listen
Because I know the pain
Of losing who you love because you ignore what you have
And you're left without knowing what happened
Verse 2
If I were a boy
But you see, I'm not
The guys are molded
And we're from the heart
They think that they are
The superior sex
But when we want them
Our seduction overcomes them
Chorus 2
If I were a boy
I know that I could know
To understand much better
What it is to love a woman
I would know how to listen
Because I know the pain
Of losing who you love because you ignore what you have
And you're left without knowing what happened
Verse 3
It's too late, you see, to go back
You won't be able to forgive yourself again
The place you were occupying
It's not there anymore
But you're a boy
What are you going to do
You can't understand
How it feels to understand me
Or to seriously love a woman
Outro
You don't know how to listen
You don't care about the pain
Until you lose someone who you love
Because you ignore what you have
And you're left not knowing what happened
But you're a boy
