If I Were A Boy

Currently, this is my favorite song. First time I heard it was about 3 weeks ago when Beyonce sang it 'live' in 'Oprah'. It was the debut of the song..(the album has not been released yet, then).The more I hear it, the more I like it. I fall in love with the melody first, but then after a few times hearing it, I caught up with the lyrics. I found the lyrics as 'very true'. It can relate to us in most cases of life.

Well, currently an important person in my life (you know who you are when you read this) is having a crisis in her life. My message to you is this:
"Dear..., please listen to the song. Life is too short and valuable to be spent on tears and fights. You have a long road ahead of you. I know love is blind. And you think that you know it all. But please...open your eyes. Boy comes and boy goes. If you're in a marriage, then you should fight to keep it together, no matter what the problem is. But as long as you're not married, then you should keep your option open and choose for the best one for your future."


If I Were A Boy (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

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd 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.

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

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

But you're just a boy
You don't understand
and you don't understand, ohhhh
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're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy
