 Beyoncé – If I were a boy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWpsOqh8q0M

If I _____ (be) a boy

Drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls

I _____ (kick) it with who I wanted

And I ___ never____ (get) confronted for it.

Cause they _____ (stick up) for me.

[Chorus]

If I _____ (be) a boy

I think I _____ (understand)

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I _____ (be) a better man.

I _____ (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 _____ (be) a boy

I _____ (turn off) my phone

Tell everyone it’s broken

So they _____ (think) that I was sleeping alone

I _____ (put) myself first

And make the rules as I go

Cause I know that she _____ (be) faithful

Waiting for me to come home (to come home)

(Chorus)

If I _____ (be) a boy

I think I _____ (understand)

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I _____ (be) a better man.

I _____ (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

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 _____ (think) I _____ (wait) for you

You _____ (think) wrong

(Chorus)

If I _____ (be) a boy

I think I _____ (understand)

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I _____ (be) a better man.

I _____ (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

But you’re just a boy

You don’t understand

Yeah you don’t understand

How it feels to love a girl someday

You 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
