Re: If I Were A Boy


If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
Because they’d stick up for me

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
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone its broken
So they 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)

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 (wanted)
Cause he’s taken you for granted (granted)
And everything you had got destroyed

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong


But you're just a boy
You don’t understand (yea you don’t understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you’ll wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a boy…

Re: If I Were A Boy

I don't get it! The lyrics made little sense, and then the video clouded things even more. So he has a female partner, and she's jealous because of how 'things look'!?! If he were a (real) man he would
<span style="text-decoration: underline">ask his superiors to change his partner?</span>
<span style="text-decoration: underline">tell his partner to stop buying him coffee in the mornings</span>
<span style="text-decoration: underline">tell his partner not to smile at him?</span>

Re: If I Were A Boy

I guess its not a song to think too deeply on? When I saw the video, the image of her with the male partner seemed more inappropriate, than when switched (sexist thinking, but it seemed more natural to me for a female partner to have thought ahead to bring coffee for male partner )

Maybe she should have done the video a little differently

Re: If I Were A Boy



lawd, you make me sign in just to school you DearK

actually the video makes perfect sense. The point is she switched places with her man for one day and acted out how he behaves towards her: ignoring her in the morning after she done cook him a nice breakfast; being out at club grinding on his partner in front of their friends while she is at work looking to buy him a nice present....you cant see that??? Flip the script and the video and words will make a little more sense.

Kinda like trading places for only one day.

Kate Bush's song &quot;Running up that Hill' is the same premise except for it is a positive spin on being in love. In the song, the woman wants the man to switch places with her so that he can see and feel just how deeply she loves him.

(Video is cheesy I know)

B's version is the opposite in that the switch place business is to let him feel the hurt he is causing her by being unfaithful. And yes the point is homeboy is dipping his thingy in his partner
