[Intro]
I am here to empower all the women. This next song is called if I were a boy
[Verse 1]
If I were a boy
Even just for one day
I'd roll out of 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, sing!
[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand, ah
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 her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
[Verse 2]
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone, yeah right
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
To come home
To come home
[Bridge]
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
You Oughta Know (Cover of Alanis Morissette)
[Verse 1+2]
I want you to know that I'm happy for you
And I want nothing but the best for you both
Another version of me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Baby are you thinkin' of me when you what? Sing!
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died? 'Til you died
Well you're still alive
[Chorus]
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross you bear when you did that
You, you, you oughta know
If I Were A Boy
[Chorus]
But you’re just a boy
Baby, you don’t understand
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
[Outro]
But you're just a boy
