If I were a boy even just for a day
I______________ bed in the morning
And ________ what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls
I'd __________ who I wanted
And I___________ confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I ________________
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I______________ man

I_____________ her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I ____________ my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I____________ first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home

If I were a boy
I think I _______________
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I___________ man

I____________ her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taking 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________ you like that
If you thought I ___________ you
You thought wrong

But you're just a boy
You don't understand
And you don't understand, oh
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're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a boy
