If I Were A Girl

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
Because they’d 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 taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy

I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone its 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’d 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 taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I 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)
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've taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a boy…


This song is so true to its words. I know my recent past post was talking about not understanding girls, but when I heard this song by this five time Grammy Award singer a.k.a my girlfriend, Beyonce my blood just carried the words throughout my entire body. The video clip represents the essence of this song. Yes, if she were a boy she would know the shit things and the jerks of an ass guys can be. Although, this does not very much happen in Asia compared to America but heck, its a global world.

Anyways, it is sad to note guys these days are no more the gentleman their fathers and grandfathers once were. We are more ruthless now, we care less about ladies feelings and we do as we please. But I think I would like to reiterate that, man has never changed. I think woman has been taken granted all the while. They are left waiting for their man at the end of the day, whether he remains loyal to her or not. Woman has always been pushed around by their man. Why do we do it? Why has it been practised so? Why even amongst our own species we compete to show the superior gender?

This love song shows that if a girl was a boy, how she would have made things differently, how she knows that it would hurt the girl when doesn't talk to her or when he is seen with another woman. The words portrays how if she was a boy, she will make things different by appreciating the 'other' more. Yes, I am a male. But I do not condone this kind of act. Man have their rights, but playing a girl as if their like some blow-up dolls is not the way to go.

Frankly speaking, I would like to also have a second version of this song too. I would like it to be called "If I were a girl". You know why? Because I want to portray the way women are. No longer are they sweet and nice. No longer are they elegant or demure. Most of them think they are big time thugs. They ask for equality, but they have no idea that with that responsibility follows. Girls these days are not like their mothers and grandmothers anyways.

Here's my own lyrics to this song. Listen to Beyonce's song prior to reading below and then you can relate to the song.

If I were a girl,
Even just for one day,
I'd swiftly wake up in the mornin',
And contemplate on my Jimmy and Manolo,
Shop shoes with the girls,
And give hints at the boys,
Swipe the credit card at where I wanted,
And I'd never get confronted for it,
'coz I know Brad'll come to me.

If I were a girl,
I think I could understand,
How it feels to love football,
I'd swear I'd be a better woman,
I will comment less,
Cause I know how it hurts,
When you loose the game you want it,
Cause she's stalking you for credit,
And everything you had got mortgaged,
If I were a girl (TM)


Somehow I still find that the song Beyonce created was unbeatable and is just so fantastic. I hope boys would be more what she sang for. Lets not put our gender to shame, gentleman.
