If I Were a Boy by Beyoncé.

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I 1 _________________(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 2 _________ (want)

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 3 ________________(feel) to love a girl
I swear I 4 ____________ (be) a better man

I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it 5_______________(hurt)
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I 6 ______________(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 7 _____________(go)
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home (to come home)

[Chorus]

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I 8_______________(forgive) you like that
If you 9 _______________ (think) I would wait for you

You 10 _____________ (think) wrong
But you're just a boy
You don't understand (Yeah, you don't understand)
How it ________________ (feel) to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man

You 11 _______________ (not listen) to her
You 12 _____________ (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 13 ___________ (be) just a boy
