So they'd think that I was sleeping ____

I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come ___________
To come home...

{Chorus}
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I ___________I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
IF I WERE A BOY. (Beyonce) When you lose the one you ________
(___________)
If I were a boy even just for a day 'Cause he's taking you for granted
I'd roll out of bed in the ___________ (granted)

Drink beer with the guys
And chase after ___________ {Bridge}
I'd kick it with who I wanted It's a little too late for you to come back

So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I'd put myself 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...

{Chorus}
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
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
IF I WERE A BOY. (Beyonce)

'Cause he's taking you for granted

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 stick up for me
You thought wrong
