If I Were a Boy - Beyoncé
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed
And throw on some clothes
Without even a thought
I'd grab a cab to the studio
And write a song about how great love feels
Cause that's the only way
I know how to numb the pain
If I were a boy
I'd start from the bottom
And start all over again
Watching my life disappear
In a flash, in a second
I'd be myself again
And it's not that I don't trust you now
But it's just that I miss being with you now and then
I know that it might not make sense to you now, but if I were a boy
I would fall in love, fall in love, fall in love with you now, yeah
I would cry, I would laugh, I would run away with you now, yeah
I would try, I would pray, I would take it all back now, yeah
If I were a boy, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
If I could find a way
To stop this heart of mine from breaking every time you leave me broken-hearted
If I were a boy
Yeah, maybe you'd be in my world right now Yeah Yeah
Some nights we dance, while the city sleeps (oh, yeah)
You give me something to believe in (believe in) (Oh, oh)
And every morning after you leave me, I wake up feeling helpless (Oh) Helpless and empty (Oh)
I try to find comfort in the fact that you give me nothing to remember you by (oh) But I'm missing someone and it cuts me deep like a knife (like a knife) (Yeah) If I were a boy (If I were a boy)
I would fall in love, fall in love, fall in love with you now (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Yeah (Oh) Oh, oh, oh, oh... Now If I could only make it through one more night 'Cause it's easier to numb the pain 'Til then (It's easier to numb the pain), oh I won't even know if we stay together If we ever even saw the sunrise anymore yeah... Maybe this was our first mistake? So please be sure 'cause it might not make sense now... yeah. yeah... But if I were a boy (Yeah) Then you and I could make love on Valentine's Day like it was the first time or something every day would be Valentine's day If I were a boy Ohhh If I were a boy.
