If I Were A Boy (Remix)

by Beyonce


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
Cause they 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 taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[R. Kelly:]
If you were a boy
Then girl you'd understand
You need to stop listening to your friends
Love, respect and trust your man

So I go to clubs with the guys
And sometimes flirt with the girls
I should be able to roll out
As long as I'm coming home to you
And give you the world

But you are not a boy,
So you don't have a clue (ey)
How I work and pay the bills
Girl and everything I do is for you (eh eh)

[Beyonce:]
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

If I were a Boy (Beyonce)

If I were a Girl (Kelly)

I would turn off my phone (Beyonce)

I wouldn't play games (Kelly)

Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone (Beyonce)

Girl you know that's wrong (Kelly)

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.

But you are not a boy,
So you can't understand
You are not a perfect woman
And I am not a perfect man (with me, with me)

I'd listen to her (eh eh)
Cause I know how it hurts [R. Kelly:] (and I know how you feel)
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

[R. Kelly:]
Said I'm sorry

It's a little too late for you to come back

But I can't let you go
Cause I'm too attached (Kelly)

If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But you're just a boy
