I finally got around to listening to Beyonce’s new song, “If I were a Boy” and watched the music video after hearing several people talk about Beyonce. So off I went to check it out and I was blown away. What a great song and video. I can’t say too much about the video without giving it away. Just see for yourself. You’ll need to experience it a few times to appreciate it.
I love the whole idea of trying to put yourself in your lover’s position to see how they feel. Men have always tried to solve the mystery of women. Getting in touch with our feminine side is only a good thing. I think this song is great cause it also addresses the opposite concept. It would benefit ladies too if they would try to put themselves in their man’s shoes for a moment. It’s all about perspective and experience.
Here are the lyrics
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
Id roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
Id kick with who I wanted
And I’d never get confonted for it
Cause theyd stick up for me.
[Chorus]
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear Id be a better man.
Id listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause hes taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would just turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they think that I was sleeping alone
Id put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that shed be faithful
Waitin for me to come home
[Chorus]
Its a little too late for you to come back
Say it’s just a mistake
Think Id forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But youre just a boy
You dont understand (Yeah you dont understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You dont listen to her
You dont care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause youve taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But youre just a boy
