If I Were A Boy/You Oughta Know (Live)

If I were a boy even just for one 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

Say 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 you've taking her 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, yeah right

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, to come home, to come home

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

I want you to know that I'm happy for you

And I want nothing but the best for you both

And all the version of me, Mr. Duplicity

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Baby, weren't you thinking of me when you, what?

'Cause the love that you gave that we made

Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you died

Till you died but you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross you bear when you did that

You, you, you oughta know

It's for just a boy, baby, you don't understand

Until you lose the one you wanted

'Cause you've taken her for granted

And everything you had got destroyed
