[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

Cause 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

[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

'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

[Beyonce (r. kelly)]

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 know that's wrong)

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

[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

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

When you lose the one you wanted

'cause 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, 'cause I'm too attached

If you thought I would wait for you

You thought wrong

But you're just a boy...
