Verse 1

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 get with who I wanted
and I’ll never get confronted for it
cause they'd stick up for me

Verse 2

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 taking you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed

Verse 3
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/beyonce_knowles/if_i_were_a_boy_crd_ver_5.html ]
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone 
tell everyone it's 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’ll be faithful,
waiting for me to come home 
(to come home)

Verse 4

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!

Bridge A   E   B

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake, 
think I'd forgive you like that?!
If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong

Verse 5

But you're just a boy, 
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 taken her for granted
and everything you had got destroyed

but you're just a boy...
