If I Were a Boy Lyrics by Jamie T

BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, Vol. 4

2009

[Verse 1]
Well if I am a boy
Even just for one more day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And put on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
I'd never get confronted for it
Cause they'd stick up for me

[Chorus]
Well I am a boy
I wish you could understand
How it feels to love a girl
And wish you were a better man
Who listens to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you loose someone you wanted
Cause you've taken them for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[Verse 2]
Yeah I am that boy
Who turned off his phone
Told everyone that its was broken
So you thought that i was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
Make the rules as I go
Cause I know she'll be faithful
Waiting for me to come home

[Chorus]
Well I am a boy
I wish you could understand
How it feels to love a girl
And wish you were a better man
Who listens to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you loose the one you wanted
Cause she's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[Verse 3]
Well it's a little too late for me to come back
Its just a mistake
To forgive me like that
I thought you were wrong and you're gone

[Chorus]
Well I am a boy
Which I don't understand
What it means to love a girl
Someday I'll be a better man
Who listens to her
Cause he knows how it hurts
When you lose someone you wanted
Cause they've taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
Well I am a boy
