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
cause they 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 taking you 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
I’d put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’ll 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 taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
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 wrooong
But you're just a boy
You don't understand
and you don't understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you 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're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
sevdiğim oldukça sevdiğim ve aklıma şu sözleri getiren şarkı.
if i were a boy
you would think i was just a friend of you whose past was terrible.
if i were a boy
i could understand your feelings and of course, where is your frights?
if you were a girl
you would understand how i left all my past behind and how i came to you
if you were a girl
you would know how to love that friend who left all terrible past behind
but now i can understand
you're just a boy
i'm a girl
and i know all of them
and i know my feelings
but you can't be aware.
erkeklerin egolarının ne kadar yüksek olduğunu, birazda kadınları anlamaları gerektiğini anlatan şarkı. feminizmde kokmaz. gayet insani duyguları anlatır.
polis uniformasının deli yakıştığı bir beyonce, seksiliği bir kenara bırakıp hayata dair güzel cümleler kurmaktadır, ayrıca sarbaşa yapılan ender şarkılardandır.
r. kelly ile remixlenmiş halinin daha güzel olduğunu düşündüğüm beyonce şarkısı. r.kelly nin beyonce'a cevabı gibi olmuştur. sözleri ;
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
cause they 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 taking 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 listening 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 Im coming home to you
and give you the world
But you are not a boy,
so you dont have a clue (ey)
How I work and pay the bills
girl everything I do is for you (eh eh)
(Beyonce)
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a Boy (Beyonce)
If I were a Girl (Kelly)
I would turn off my phone (Beyonce)
I wouldn't play games (Kelly)
Tell everyone it's broken
so they'd think that I was sleeping alone (Beyonce)
Girl you know thats wrong (Kelly)
I'd put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she'll be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.
But you are not a boy,
so you can't understand
You are not a perfect woman
and I am not a perfect man (remix,remix) (r. kelly)
I'd listen to her (eh eh)
Cause I know how it hurts (Kelly: and I know how you feel)
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
Kelly: Said Im sorry
It's a little too late for you to come back
but I cant let you go
cause Im too attached (Kelly)
If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong
sözleri çok güzel olan şarkı. bir erkek tarafından incitilen kadının eğer bir erkek olsaydım diyerek anlatmaya başladığı etkili ve duygulu bir şarkı. http://www.youtube.com/wa...v=AWpsOqh8q0M&ob=av2e
If I were a boy I think I could understand
Bir erkek olsaydım, sanırım anlayabilirdim
How it feels to love a girl
Bir kızı sevmenin ne olduğunu
I swear I'd be a better man
Yemin ederim ki, daha iyi bir adam olurdum
I'd listen to her cause I know how it hurts
Onu dinlerdim çünkü bilirim ne kadar acı verdiğini
if ı were a boy
ı think ı could understand
how it feels to love a girl
ı swear ı'd be a better man
ı'd listen to her
cause ı know how it hurts
when you lose the one you wanted
cause he's taking you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed..
Kısmen Feminist bir şarkıdır.
Zira şarkı içinde "eğer erkek olsaydım senden daha iyi olurdum, senden daha iyi severdim" gibi cümleler bulunur.
Ama ses ve yoruma söz yok beyonce farkı ile kusursuzdur.
