If I Were A Boy

Celebs usually release a catchy tune as their first single (of their new records) but not this time around for songbird Beyonce. This song is mellow. Might not be accepted by your ears the first time you hear it but chances are, when you catch up with the lyric, you'll fall in love with it. This is especially true for girls. It is right on the spot, perfectly describing us girls' feelings about relationship (most of us girls anyway ;p). And the video clip is top notch, too. Tastefully done in black & white with plots that flows smoothly. It clicks with the lyric beautifully. Do go and watch it from the start until the end. It's worth your 5 minutes time.

This song also goes out to the boys. Especially for those who find that girls are puzzling. Well, breaking news, we find you as one too.

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then 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.
Cause they’d stick up for me.

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

[Verse]
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
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)

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d 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
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You 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 have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy




P/S - I used to want to be a boy so much when I was younger. *ha ha*. Like, literally.
