Don't come out Did a full one eighty Don't start caring about me now Crazy, thinking about the way I was Walk away Did the heartbreak change me? You know how Maybe, but look at where I ended up Don't start caring about me now
I'm all good already Don't come out
So moved on it's scary Don't show now I'm not where you left me at all Don't start now So if you don't wanna see me dancing Don't come out with somebody I'm not where you left me at all If you wanna believe that anything could stop me So if you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody Don't show up If you wanna believe that anything could Don't come out stop me Don't start caring about me now Walk away Don't show up (Don't show up) You know how Don't come out (Don't come out) Don't start caring about me now Don't start caring about me now (About me now) Aren't you the guy who tried to Walk away (Walk away) Hurt me with the word goodbye You know how (You know how) Though it took some time to, survive you Don't start caring about me now I'm better on the other-side (Don't come out, out, out) I'm all good already (Don't show now, walk away, walk away) So moved on it's scary So (Don't come out, out, out) I'm not where you left me at all (Don't start now, walk away, walk away) So if you don't wanna see me dancing with somebody I'd listen to her Beyoncé 'Cause I know how it hurts "If I Were A Boy" When you lose the one you wanted (wanted) If I were a boy 'Cause he's taken you for granted Even just for a day (granted) I__ roll outta bed in the morning And everything you had got destroyed And throw on what I _______and go Drink beer with the guys It's a little too late for you to come back And chase after girls Say it's just a mistake I'd kick it with who I wanted Think I'd forgive you like that And I'd never get confronted for it If you thought I would wait for you 'Cause they'd stick up for me You thought wrong
If I were a boy But you're just a boy
I think I ______ understand You don't understand How it feels to love a girl Yeah, you don't understand, oh I swear I'd be a better man How it feels to love a girl someday I'd listen to her You wish you were a better man 'Cause I know how it hurts You don't listen to her When you lose the one you wanted You don't care how it hurts 'Cause he's taken you for granted Until you lose the one you wanted And everything you had got destroyed 'Cause you've taken her for granted And everything you had got destroyed If I were a boy I would turn off my phone But you're just a boy Tell everyone it's broken So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone I'd put myself first And make the rules as I go 'Cause I know that she'd be faithful Waitin' for me to come home (to come home)
If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I'd be a better man
