Beyoncé - If I Were a Boy ft. R kelly

[00:02.38] If I were a boy

[00:07.37] Even just for a day

[00:13.88] I'd roll out of bed in the morning

[00:17.39] And throw on what I wanted then go

[00:23.87] Drink beer with the guys

[00:29.12] And chase after girls

[00:35.38] I'd kick it with who I wanted

[00:38.63] And I'd never get confronted for it

[00:42.13] 'Cause they'd stick up for me

[00:45.38] If I were a boy

[00:50.13] I think I could understand

[00:57.13] How it feels to love a girl

[01:00.13] I swear I'd be a better man

[01:06.88] I'd listen to her

[01:11.62] 'Cause I know how it hurts

[01:18.13] When you lose the one you wanted

[01:20.87] 'Cause he's taken you for granted

[01:24.12] And everything you had got destroyed

[01:28.10] If you were a boy

[01:32.89] Then, girl, you'd understand

[01:38.87] You need to stop listening to your friends

[01:42.60] Love, respect, and trust your man

[01:48.87] So I go to clubs with the guys

[01:54.12] And sometimes flirt with the girls

[02:00.96] I should be able to roll out

[02:04.21] As long as I'm coming home to you

[02:07.85] And give you the world

[02:10.85] But you're not a boy

[02:15.37] So you don't have a clue, babe

[02:22.11] How I work and pay the bills

[02:25.37] How everything I do is for you

[02:30.36] Hey, hey

[02:32.08] I'd listen to her

[02:36.85] 'Cause I know how it hurts

[02:43.35] When you lose the one you wanted

[02:46.60] 'Cause he's taken you for granted

[02:49.35] And everything you had got destroyed

[02:53.62] If I were a boy (If I were a girl)

[02:58.62] I would turn off my phone (I wouldn't play games)

[03:05.38] Tell everyone it's broken

[03:08.12] So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

[03:12.11] (Girl, you know that's wrong)

[03:15.09] I'd put myself first

[03:19.36] And make the rules as I go

[03:26.13] 'Cause I know that she'd be faithful

[03:29.61] Waiting for me to come home, to come home

[03:36.13] But you're not a boy

[03:40.85] So you can't understand

[03:47.61] You are not a perfect woman

[03:50.87] And I am not a perfect man

[03:57.43] I'd listen to her

[04:01.93] 'Cause I know how it hurts (And I know how you feel)

[04:08.93] When you lose the one you wanted

[04:11.67] 'Cause he's taken you for granted

[04:14.66] And everything you had got destroyed (Said I'm sorry)

[04:20.92] It's a little too late for you to come back

[04:26.17] But I can't let you go, 'cause I'm too attached

[04:31.67] If you thought I would wait for you

[04:35.42] You thought wrong

[04:41.17] But you're just a boy
