If I were a boy
Even just once
I'd dress how ever I wanted
With whatever I saw first and leave
I'd go looking
For tons of girls
And my loyal friends
Would always come with me
Every night to lie
CHORUS
If I were a boy
I know I'd be able to
Understand much better
What it means to love a woman
I'd know how to listen
Since I know the pain
Of losing someone you love
Because you ignore what you have
And end up not knowing what happened
If I were a boy
But, you can see that I'm not
Boys are made one way
And us girls, we're more sentimental
They think they're
Superior
But when we want
We win them over with our seduction
CHORUS
Can't you see, it's too late to go back
To forgive you again, you won't have anymore luck with that
The place you filled, it isn't there anymore
But you're just a boy
What more is there to do?
You can't understand
What it feels like to really understand
And really love a woman
You don't know how to listen
You don't care about the pain
Until you lose the one you love
Because you ignore what you've got
And you're left not knowing what happened
But you're just a boy...
