If I were a boy
\neven just for a day
\nI’d roll out of bed in the morning
\nand throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
\nand chase after girls
\nI’d kick it with who I wanted
\nand I’d never get confronted for it
\ncause they stick up for me
If I were a boy
\nI think I could understand
\nHow it feels to love a girl
\nI swear I’d be a better man
\nI’d listen to her
\nCause I know how it hurts
\nWhen you lose the one you wanted
\nCause he’s taking you for granted
\nAnd everything you had got destroyed
(R. Kelly)
\nIf you were a boy
\nthen girl you’d understand
\nyou need to stop listening to your friends
\nlove, respect and trust your man
So I go to clubs with the guys
\nand sometimes flirt with the girls
\nI should be able to roll out
\nas long as Im coming home to you
\nand give you the world
But you are not a boy,
\nso you dont have a clue (ey)
\nHow I work and pay the bills
\ngirl everything I do is for you (eh eh)
(Beyonce)
\nI’d listen to her
\nCause I know how it hurts
\nWhen you lose the one you wanted
\nCause he’s taking you for granted
\nAnd everything you had got destroyed
If I were a Boy (Beyonce)
\nIf I were a Girl (Kelly)
\nI would turn off my phone (Beyonce)
\nI wouldn’t play games (Kelly)
\nTell everyone it’s broken
\nso they’d think that I was sleeping alone (Beyonce)
Girl you know thats wrong (Kelly)
\nI’d put myself first
\nand make the rules as I go
\nCause I know that she’ll be faithful,
\nwaiting for me to come home, to come home.
But you are not a boy,
\nso you can’t understand
\nYou are not a perfect woman
\nand I am not a perfect man (remix,remix)
I’d listen to her (eh eh)
\nCause I know how it hurts (Kelly: and I know how you feel)
\nWhen you lose the one you wanted
\nCause he’s taking you for granted
\nAnd everything you had got destroyed
Kelly: Said Im sorry
\nIt’s a little too late for you to come back
\nbut I cant let you go
\ncause Im too attached (Kelly)
If you thought I would wait for you
\nyou thought wrong
But you’re just a boy
