If I Were A Boy (Remix)

[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 then 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

Cuz 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

'Cuz I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

'Cuz he's taken 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 listenin' 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 comin' home to you

And give you the world



But you're not a boy

So you don't have a clue

How I work and pay the bills

How everything I do is for you

[Beyonce:]

I'd listen to her

'Cuz I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

'Cuz he's taken you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed



[Beyonce:]

If I were a boy (If I were a girl)

I would turn off my phone (I wouldn't play games)

Tell everyone it's broken

So they'd think that I was sleeping alone (girl you that's wrong)

I'd put myself first

And make the rules as I go

'Cuz I know that she'd be faithful

Waiting for me to come home, to come home



[R. Kelly:]

But you're not a boy

So you can't understand

You are not a perfect woman

And I am not a perfect man

[Beyonce:]

I'd listen to her

'Cuz I know how it hurts (and I know how you feel)

When you lose the one you wanted

'Cuz he's taken you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed (said I'm sorry)



[Beyonce:]

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

[R. Kelly:]

But I can't let you go, 'cuz I'm too attached

If you thought I would wait for you

You thought wrong



But you're just a boy....
